Enhance the sense of arrival and cruise visitor experience in Twillingate

Enhance sense of arrival and the visitor experience for the cruise sector

Quantum dots (QDs) are tiny semiconductor particles with remarkable optical properties, holding enormous promise for applications in medicine, diagnostics, and sensing technologies. However, a major barrier to their widespread use is the difficulty of producing them reliably and at scale — current methods suffer from batch-to-batch inconsistency, degradation over time, and the release of toxic heavy metal by-products.

The key research goals focus on understanding the dynamics of
remotely sensed Arctic aerosols. To achieve this goal, the team will investigate (i)
aerosol events observed over the last 18 years at the high-Arctic PEARL
observatory (Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Lab) at Eureka, Nunavut
and (ii) a new set of more recent observations at CHARS (Canadian High-Arctic
Research Site) at Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.

Funding in support of a 4 (four) day event to support relationship-building, cultural awareness, and departmental policy and procedural awareness in relation to Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) activities between Na̲nwak̲olas Council Society and the Department of National Defence.

This project supports the implementation of the Cedar Weaving Project, a culturally grounded initiative that promotes the reintegration of Indigenous offenders through traditional teachings, ceremonies, cultural activities, and one-on-one support.

This Project will advance the state-of-the art technologies for single photon sensing by the development of 2D materials-based quantum sensors.

The SENSE-APP-II project will support the move towards commercialization for an AI-powered driving safety app for mature drivers (65+).

It targets dual-use applications in Canadian defense and aerospace, including sensing, secure communications, satellites, antennas, and nanophotonics, advancing toward a commercial-ready prototype.

With the supplemental funds and 12-month extension provided in early 2026, l’Anonyme will test intervention practices that are sensitive to the realities and experiences of Montreal youth who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and/or victimized, working with them to recognize and respond to their needs; organize, with young Montrealers who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and/or have been victimized, around 10 semi-closed group intervention activities that allow them to break out of isolation and strengthen their sense of belonging to a peer group; facilitate access to support for individuals vulnerable to sexual exploitation and/or victimized by creating a corridor of service with community and institutional organizations; disseminate the results and tools developed as part of the project to facilitate knowledge transfer within the GBV network; and assess the perceived abilities of the young people encountered to identify risky situations in the context of GBV and to make safe choices regarding intimacy and sexuality through promising practices.
