The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre (VHEC) will facilitate access to archival holdings related to a 35-year history of organizing public events and educational symposia related to its mandate and to Holocaust commemoration. The VHEC has a mandate to collect, preserve and make accessible documentary heritage that supports the organization in its efforts to promote social justice, human rights and genocide awareness. The VHEC will process records related to its annual educational symposium, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah and Kristallnacht anniversary events, and the High Holidays cemetery service. These records include research and curatorial files, audio-video recordings, multi-media content, design files, plans, photographs, correspondence, and finance-related files. Specifically, the organization will arrange, describe and create a finding aid for event records, and then publish them online to make them accessible and searchable for educators, students, community members and researchers.

This project involves three fonds in the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation’s (WAF) collection: the Green Blankstein Russell (GBR) fonds; the Roy Sellors fonds; and the Dennis Carter fonds. The fonds contain materials related to several of Winnipeg's most significant buildings and their designers. The main objectives are to increase access to WAF’s collection; to preserve the original documents; and to inform WAF’s research program. Project activities include the creation of finding aids, digitization of 25 percent of the collection (the organization will prioritize materials related to buildings of architectural significance), and the creation of captions and metadata. A professional archivist will create the finding aids, train staff and volunteers, and be available for consultation throughout the project.

The project concerns audiovisual archives that include sound archives and moving images of the first actors and organizations that worked in the Magdalen Islands. By targeting the most fragile collections as a priority, the Centre d'archives régional des Îles will digitize and catalogue these archives in order to facilitate access while preserving their integrity. This project will be followed by an audiovisual commemorative event at the beginning of the second year of the project, marking the 165th anniversary of the post office in the Magdalen Islands and 110 years of the history of the ponchon.

This project will deliver a next-generation Blockchain based supply chain solution for the UK.

Continued market development needed to grow exports to India's piggery sector. In that its pig industry has been quite unorganized, new dimensions must be developed to justify the importation of frozen boar semen and live pigs.

The candidate will be building an image collection flexible test bench for the purpose of imaging numismatic coins (collector coins).

The project will focus on fine-tuning of the design, building and testing of the core cardiovascular device, peripherals and catheters.

ODI has developed and commercialized a first generation autobender technology for the forming of simple geometry cutting dies. More complex dies require additional manual work. This has posed a challenge to ODI to continue development of this technology investigating technologies such as robotics and vision systems and their potential application for this technology.

This project will incorporate the work done to date by ODI on vision technology and robotics with the first generation autobender for an advanced, intelligent, and autonomous die cutting bender system with higher accuracy, more challenging geometries such as sharp corners, and higher throughput.

This contribution will support a marketing strategy aimed at promoting the regions' assets to customers outside Quebec.
