By accessing international scientific research and training, CGS-MSFSS recipients will contribute to strengthening the potential for collaboration between Canadian and foreign institutions.

The lecture event featured five speakers who explored potential futures under each possible United States administration and how Canada should respond. They also delved into the sentiments of Americans, backed by current polling data, and presented an ambitious ‘Matter More’ strategy to guide Canada’s approach to the United States of America.

Through this 19-month systemic change project, the Conseil d’intervention pour l’accès des femmes au travail du Québec Inc. will scale the project “Reducing systemic discrimination against women by promoting female-dominated trades” to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. They will scale the project by expanding its scope to all of Québec and by addressing a new women-dominated job sector. The project will address various issues: workplace harassment and violence, work-life balance problems, strained work relationships and poor union representation, and occupational health and safety. To do this, the project will promote a better understanding of the barriers that women experience in a targeted job sector, continue collaborations with current and future partners to make a meaningful difference in women’s working conditions, and broaden the scope of the recommendations for change through a visit to various key players.

Through this 32-month project, Accès transports viables will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity as well as their access to leadership and decision-making roles through systemic change. More specifically, the project will address systemic barriers in the fields of land-use planning and mobility by collecting data on mobility deficits and barriers facing the most vulnerable women and other people; sharing these data with stakeholders, including through meetings and a new professional network on inclusive mobility; improving the capacity of players in sustainable mobility to deploy suitable services and inclusive practices through establishing an innovation lab that brings together professionals in the field; and building the most vulnerable women’s and other people’s capacity to engage in civic participation and influence the sustainable mobility sector through the creation of a training and support program as well as a community of practice. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this project on systemic change.

Through this 18-month project, the Maison d’hébergement l’Issue will build its capacity to advance women’s equality. It will address the group’s organizational capacity to provide integrated, specialized, safe services for women with lived experience in the sex industry in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. The project will include strengthening l’Issue’s internal operations and management capacity, developing and implementing a participatory strategic plan, developing an intervention framework, creating a visual identity, and strengthening the Maison d’hébergement l’Issue’s services with current and future regional partners.

The project proposes to upgrade the water supply, treatment and storage of drinking water in the northern York Region. Water to these communities is sourced from a lake-based supply, which is at risk of failure due to extreme storm events and extreme heat events. The project will mitigate the risk through diversification of water sources, in this case with investment in a resilient and sustainable groundwater supply system consisting of 11 wellfield sites and 23 wells (i.e., multiple wells are located at each wellfield site). The groundwater wells included in this project are located within the 4 communities they serve. This project would begin construction in 2023 and end in 2028.
