This project is a STEM internship opportunity for post-secondary Canadian students of underrepresented groups to advance their knowledge of space health research. Trainees will be investigating space anemia using MRI and ultrasound measures, gas chromatograph carbon monoxide measures, and clinical and laboratory markers of hemolysis. Trainees will measure the vertebral fat fraction of the lumbar spine and calcaneus, and anthropomorphic measures, iron concentration, shear-wave elastography, and perfusion/diffusion ratios of the spleen and liver, using ITK-snap and in-house developed MATLAB software. Trainees will also measure ambient and alveolar air samples using gas chromatography and will analyze the data under the supervision of the team’s statistician to measure the effect of space and various countermeasures on space anemia, and to identify sex-differences. Through these proposed activities, trainees will have the opportunity to acquire hands-on knowledge and experience related to space health research. They will form partnerships and be directly mentored by prominent scientists in the space sector.

This projects funds a Youth to implement the requirements for HACCP and SQF certification at Green Goddess Fromagerie.

This International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm to enter into future international co-innovation work.

The project will place very computationally intensive software in the hands of geophysicists with powerful laptop computers or desktops to provide improved interpretation of geophysical electromagnetic data for mineral exploration and other applications.

The goal of Leader’s Multi-purpose Trail project is to provide the community and surrounding area with safe, accessible trails to help promote healthy, active lifestyles. We are planning to create 2.5 kilometers of multi-purpose pathways that will connect to the existing sidewalk infrastructure to form a 5km loop around the entire Town of Leader. We have attached a full map of the trails we will be creating. If our fundraising efforts succeed, 1.12 kilometers will be paved. The other 1.38 kilometers will be a surface of compacted crusher dust, which still will provide a smooth surface for strollers, wheelchairs, and bicycles. We will be making the pathway at least 2.5 meters wide to allow for both pedestrian, and cyclist usage. Along the trail we will also be adding at least 5 benches for scenic resting spots. Signage will be added at every block. These signs will display the route options and their distances, as well as tourist attractions and nearby businesses along the route. The outcomes and benefits of creating this walking trail fully align with the objective of the Active Transport Fund and the National Active Transport Strategy. Through our partnership with Leader and District Tourism, Leader and District Chamber of Commerce, and the R.M. of Happyland we will be able to provide added safety, accessibility, increased tourism, and business growth, all while providing residents with an option for active transportation.

Purchase of a 40-passenger bus with gas, four minivans, 5 electronic tablets for drivers, an equipment adapted for wheelchair vehicles, 42 garbage cans (for the bus shelters), and install 42 bus shelters with excavation works (throughout the territory), 4 bike racks, 2 charging station , 500 signs and stop posts for embarkation and disembarkation points to establish a public transit system that connects two municipalities (Edmundston and Haut-Madawaska) and offers a service between them.
