Grant to enable participation in post Government in Council for Westcoast Sunrise Project.

The humanitarian situation in Lebanon deteriorated significantly following the sharp intensification of hostilities in early March 2026, which marked the most serious escalation since the November 2024 ceasefire. This escalation triggered renewed mass displacement, damaged critical civilian infrastructure, and further compounded an already severe humanitarian crisis. The United Nations estimates that up to 1 million people in Lebanon require urgent life-saving assistance over a three-month period.

The Lebanon Humanitarian Fund, managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is an existing Country-Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) that mobilizes multi-sector emergency response allocations based on partner presence and capacity. With GAC’s support, the fund releases emergency funding for priority life-saving interventions, including protection, food security, health, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and shelter, with a strong focus on reaching the most vulnerable populations and enabling rapid scale-up by frontline responders.

Project activities include: (1) providing needs-based assistance in line with priorities in the emergency Flash Appeal for Lebanon; (2) increasing operational response capacity and coverage through diverse partnerships with non-governmental organizations, including national and local actors; and (3) improving the timeliness, effectiveness, and efficiency of life-saving interventions through coordinated, flexible, and rapid allocation mechanisms.

This Project supports the Canadian community’s efforts to attract, retain and expand foreign direct investment (FDI) and is ultimately designed to strengthen the economy at the community level.

The purpose of this agreement is to increase awareness, availability and use of lower carbon vehicles and fuels in Canada by supporting the installation of 6 electric vehicle fast chargers in Ontario.

The purpose of this agreement is to support the development of critical minerals value chains in Canada and abroad.

This project will engage a recent graduate engineer to develop and implement a structured quality assurance and reliability program to reduce unplanned downtime and ensure consistent performance of automated feather sexing machines prior to and after deployment.

The project is to support two internal staff members to address two main bottlenecks: a cultural localization gap and manual process inefficiency in sales and marketing functions across Nunavut's 25 communities. Those issues remain relevant, but Nunafab's current stage now requires a broader technical-commercial response that addresses a more critical commercialization bottleneck: the gap between product interest and buyer-ready adoption packages for northern housing and defense related applications.

Electric vehicle adoption and battery second-life applications require efficient tools for battery degradation monitoring and state-of-health estimation. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is widely used for this purpose; however, University of Windsor research has identified a critical limitation in conventional measurements: open?circuit-voltage (OCV) induced bias can distort impedance estimates, particularly at low frequencies. The Project will advance a corrected EIS excitation and analysis method that combines a tailored excitation waveform with an observation model to estimate and remove the OCV contribution from the measured response. Initial proof-of-concept experiments have demonstrated feasibility at TRL 3. The Project will advance the technology to TRL 4 through systematic laboratory validation, benchmarking against conventional EIS, and evaluation across different cells, chemistries, states of charge, and measurement conditions. The NRC will conduct parallel validation and contribute to documenting the methodology and results.

Development of a method and equipment for optimizing container collection.
