Grants and Contributions

The project will create a greenspace of approximately 600 square meters between the Dawson hospital and Retirement Residence, via permaculture gardens of with perennial berry bushes, flowers and herbs as well as 4 annual garden beds done in Hugel culture. The project’s design elements include 3 signage, 1 walkway and 2 benches.

Addressing First Nations homelessness requires culturally appropriate, tailored supports and solutions developed and led by First Nations for First Nations. Canada and the AFN have jointly developed an approach that will distribute funding to First Nations across Canada on a regional basis, and will support First Nations communities in addressing and preventing homelessness, primarily through service delivery. Under this approach, First Nations regional bodies can choose either to proceed with a Solicited Intake or with a Targeted Call for Proposals (CFP). Regional bodies that opt for the Solicited Intake identify, either by Chiefs resolutions or by established mandates, First Nations organizations who will directly deliver services and/or act as funding agents to distribute funding among projects in the region. Regional bodies that opt for the Targeted CFP simply are using an alternate selection mechanism, choosing First Nations organizations among eligible applicants according to defined selection criteria.
Projects delivered directly or through sub-agreements in a region are intended to deliver supports to First Nations members while also producing data, insights and/or promising solutions to help inform the drafting of a national First Nations Homelessness Action Plan. First Nations and First Nations organizations will be encouraged to consider innovative approaches and multi-partner solutions that are culturally specific.
Projects and/or sub-projects funded under the First Nations Distinctions-Based stream of Reaching Home will align with eligible activities and expenses under Reaching Home’s Terms and Conditions. Eligible activities and expenses for local sub-projects include, but are not limited to:
-Housing services, including housing placement, emergency housing funding and housing set-up;
-Prevention and shelter diversion;
-Client support services, including basic needs services, clinical and treatment services, economic integration services and social and community integration services;
-Capital investments;
-Coordination of resources and data collection; and,
-Capacity and skills development

The Short-Term Rental Enforcement Fund aims to limit short-term rentals that take away units from the long-term rental market across the country. This is accomplished by providing grant funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities with existing strict regulatory regimes to support the local enforcement of short-term rental restrictions in an effort to make more long-term housing units available in Canada.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

This project makes it possible to set up automated error detection and prevention systems.

This project is to examine GRi’s exposure, and potential response to market uncertainties occasioned by trade complications among the international community.

Advances exploratory research under the New Beginnings Initiative

This project aims to develop a comprehensive plan for implementing AI-driven personalization in the VITAMALL platform. At this early stage, the company's focus is on defining the AI strategy, technical feasibility, and business impact to ensure a successful future implementation.

The overall goal is to develop “ARIADNE” (platform for Accelerated and pRecisIon pAndemic Diagnostics and iNfection hEalth), a novel de?centralized molecular analytical tool for deployment in the ‘non-expert’ care settings for timely stratification and triage of patients. The proof-of-principle work will target sepsis, a complex and heterogeneous life-threatening dysregulated response to infection that rapidly progresses to multi-organ failure and death when not identified and treated appropriately. It integrates NRC's microfluidic technology (PowerBlade) with novel gene circuit-based molecular sensors, facilitated by machine learning algorithms for biomarker refinement. This project leverages unique strengths of the multidisciplinary collaboration that combines the clinical translational capacity of our team at St. Michael’s Hospital (University of Toronto), synthetic biology expertise and molecular sensor chemistry at the UoT and Boston University, the bioinformatics know-how of our collaborators at Simon Fraser University, ML expertise at DT, NRC’s unique microfluidic technology developed by the MD group.

Objective of this project is to transform our current production, process management, and food safety program implementation using innovative efficiency approach in order to become efficient in our business while growing financially, providing high quality products to customers, and creating more jobs.
