Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

Elkan Environmental Engineering (Business name of 1489344Alberta Ltd.) provides environmental engineering, consulting, and wastewater effluent design. This project will prototype a 10-20 m3 BEAST reactor with National Research Council (NRC) to test the functionality of proprietary electrode technology by determining output effluent quality versus hydraulic retention time, while monitoring the amount of methane generated from the process. Additional features will include a backwashing system design of an electrode washing system. Benefits to the customer include low cost, low energy, simple to operate system for small municipal wastewater systems, specifically in cold climates.

The development of a Smart Battery Energy Management (SBEM) system with real-time fault diagnosis capabilities for applications in electric vehicles and other energy storage devices. The design structure of the SBEM system will incorporate robust communications, intelligent cell monitoring, device management, device (bidirectional) charging to ensure control and management of battery performance, safety, the state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH).

This project aims to take advantage of phytochrome switching and the Emerson Effect by developing hybrid red/far-red LED lighting products to increase the growth efficiency and thus time to market of plants, flowers and vegetables.

These Eastern oysters are grown using floating bag technology in the clean waters of Salt Bay and Eel Lake in southwest Nova Scotia.

This project will cover the design, engineering, fabrication and testing of a prototype separation system capable of processing a minimum of 50 yards per hour while removing more than 95% of contaminants.

Build-A-Thing is dual purpose tool that is a consumer facing web based platform which connects companies, and marketers to freelancers through productized creative services (“public view”) and services hub entities (agencies, in-house marketing team) through an “Expert View” to independently scope projects or access products while leveraging talent selection. With scoped hours validated through machine learning and rates determined by freelancers this tool automates an otherwise lengthy process plagued by inconsistency and unrealistic expectations. The tool is designed to deepen the relationship and strengthen working conditions between this new labour force and those desiring creative services.

Scoping investigation and development of LunaTide (beta-version) software, a tidal forecasting system.

Stevens Solutions and Design Inc will research potential options to develop a proprietary software tool to rapidly process very large high fidelity geomatics data sets to produce attractive interactive web-based visualizations for quicker and easier presentation of environmental scientific data.

Develop an affordable alloy capable of performing speeds of deformations and temperatures required by the HSBF process. This alloy must demonstrate the qualifications required of geometric formability in order to meet the requirements of the body side for niches vehicles (luxury/sport), mechanical resistance required and surface finishes capable of meeting the required Class A body.
