Grants and Contributions

Contribution as part of the Policy Dialogue Program to Ermineskin Cree Nation (Band No. 443) to assist in preparing for and engaging in participation activities associated with the ongoing Review of Legislative, Regulatory, and Policy Development Processes.

Grant as part of the Participant Funding Program to Tsleil-Waututh Nation to assist in preparing for and engaging in Indigenous consultation activities and public participation opportunities associated with the assessment process for the Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project.

The Investment in Training Equipment Stream aims to improve the quality of training of apprentices in Red Seal trades.

The stream supports projects that demonstrate a need for training equipment or materials that meet industry standards or investments in new technology to train apprentices in the Red Seal trades.

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.

The purpose of this CanExport Associations contribution agreement is to support organizations and ultimately aims to increase the competitiveness of Canadian companies, in the international marketplace, on a sectoral basis, thereby contributing to Canadian prosperity and the growth of the Canadian economy. This financial support enables the recipient to undertake new or expanded international business development promotion activities, in a given sector, for the benefit of its entire industry (member and non-member firms).

This project aims to increase productivity, reduce product losses and increase revenues by expanding the plant to include a refrigeration and freezing area.

Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness across Canada will have increased support through the Program.

To contribute to addressing the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system through activities such as post sentence supports, Gladue aftercare and reintegration services.

Surface engineering and thermal spray (TS) coating technologies are used to enhance base materials sustainability and to add functionality to products with applicability in a variety of industries and sectors e.g., automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, energy, and defense. Constantly changing customer needs and demands require TS coating manufacturers to be flexible enough to augment the output of TS processes in an increasingly competitive global market while delivering high-quality products at low cost. These targets can be reached by making use of existing digital technologies to capture and exploit data, leading to highly flexible and reconfigurable coating production processes, optimized equipment usage, predictive maintenance, on-line spray monitoring, and end product (i.e., coatings) quality control. Within the proposed Project it is intended to instrument a high power/enthalpy APS torch with video cameras and acoustic sensors to record continuously the process and further analyze through images and sound processing capabilities based on machine learning algorithms. These video and audio data-sets will be examined for feature selection engineering and extraction and possible trends which can indicate discernible patterns. Ultimately, if a pattern were to arise, machine learning could be leveraged to monitor and automate the spraying process.

The project scope is enhancing marketing and social media capabilities to include AI marketing tools for advertising, content generation, and customer management.
