Student Support for Housing Programming

North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC) serves the community within the geographic area north of the CP tracks, south of Carruthers Avenue., east of McPhillips Street, and west of the Red River. The mandate of the corporation is to promote the social, economic, and cultural renewal of the North End of Winnipeg. It does this by improving the quality and accessibility of housing, creating jobs, upgrading commercial and industrial areas, implementing employment development programs, improving the overall image of the community, and through crime reduction initiatives. Some of the challenges that the organization is facing revolve around their housing programming. Challenges such as making sure tenants know their rights, that members of the community are well-equipped with the right documentation to apply for housing, and working on decreasing eviction rates. The deliverable will be to complete a project under one of the program areas. In consultation between the supervisor and student, the project will be developed with sensitivity to the current COVID-19 public health guidelines. Examples of projects could include organizing and running an online workshop series, completing a data analysis project, or completing a neighbourhood housing audit.

Depth estimation on wet roadways using RGB stereo

Computer vision systems are a key component for autonomous vehicles and driver assistance. To be
robust, such systems must be able to handle challenging conditions such as night driving and rain.
Previously Algolux proposed multimodal sensor fusion using RGB, gated and lidar for robust object
detection and dense depth estimation under low light and adverse weather. This project will address the
problem of wet roadways which produce elongated highlights that we call ‘specular streaks’. Specular
streaks can cause problems for stereo depth estimation because they give rise to disparity estimates that
are inconsistent with the roadway depth. The goal of this project is to segment these streaks and to infer
the roadway depth in their presence. The project will explore a combination of supervised, semisupervised
and self-supervised learning, and will combine learning-based approaches with physically
based image formation models process to enforce consistency between different prediction tasks.
Evaluation will be performed using manually annotated streak segmentation, lidar-based depth data, and
simulated data under different weather and illumination conditions in urban and highway scenarios.

Supporting Best Practices to Collecting Information and Measuring Social Impact in the Non-Profit Sector

This project was developed to attend to Merchant’s Corner Inc. (MCI) needs. MCI is a non-profit organization situated in Winnipeg’s Inner-city area that opened in 2018 to support and empower the North End community through housing, community development, and education opportunities. The building was a 20-year in the making community hub that was re-developed and transformed into a safe and positive environment for children, youth and families. The location comprises 30 affordable housing units, shared classroom spaces, and shared community areas. The purpose of the project is to help the organization by supporting community initiatives and assisting in designing a database system for Merchant’s Corner Housing program. The main goal is to create a searchable database containing important information from tenants about their experience with the organization. The information will be collected from residents using different tools and following Community-based Participatory Research and Indigenous Research methodologies, focusing on relationship building. The database will contain valuable information to measure social impact and strengthen Merchants Corner’s portfolio. As a secondary goal, this project will also help with community development initiatives, increasing opportunities for tenants and community members to connect.

Innovation and application of energy-economy-emissions models

The goal for this project is to support the research of three master’s students whose work would help advance the methods for estimating – using energy-economy-emissions models – the likely emissions, economic and equity impacts of GHG-reducing policies by governments at three levels in Canada: federal, provincial-territorial, municipal. The modelling innovations and applications from these three interns will improve Canada’s ability to achieve its GHG commitments, notably its net-zero by 2050 target. After graduating, the students will be highly qualified personnel likely to play key roles in the efforts of Canada and other countries to accelerate the global energy transition that is essential for preventing a catastrophic outcome for humanity.

Mental Health Support for Newcomers Qualitative Research

Sara Riel wants to improve organizational support to newcomers to Manitoba with their mental health needs.
“Past studies suggest that immigrants, generally, arrive in Canada with better self-perceived mental health than Canadians, but it declines after a period of time (Salami, 2017).” This has deteriorated further during the Pandemic. (Stats Can).
There are linguistic and cultural barriers to mental health expression. As a result, newcomers do not readily seek mental health supports, despite facing multiple challenges in their transition to a new country. Newcomers may have their own stigma of mental health issues, differing cultural perceptions of the definitions, causes, and handling of mental health, and a lack of awareness of supports offered in the community.

Cloverdale Curling Club-Marketing and Administrative Intern-Kirk

Curling has been described as the ‘Roarin’ Game’, with the ‘roar’ coming from the noise of a granite stone as it travels over the ice. The Cloverdale Curling Club (formerly known as Valley Curling Club) has been home to the sport of curling in Cloverdale since 1954. The club offers a variety of curling leagues for men, women and youth.
The project’s objective is to create a strategic plan to overcome the continued decline in the numbers of players and members in the Cloverdale Curling Club and an aging player/member base. We are trying to figure out ways to attract newcomers and people of different ethnicity to curling. Our club is situated in the Surrey/Cloverdale area, that’s a young, growing and culturally diverse community. This project will help us create a marketing plan to increase our customer base and generate interest in the local community about the game of curling. The Marketing and Administrative intern will research our local community and demographics to develop effective marketing strategies to generate awareness, attract the audience, and create learning interest in curling. The purpose is to encourage people to join the Cloverdale Curling Club.

Treatment of Fixed Income Products with Optionality in Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB)

The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) is a set of regulations by the Basel committee, which is expected to be implemented by banks by 2022. The regulation targets market risk management in banking industry. According to FRTB, banks need to post extra capital against non-modellable risk factors, which could
account for 30% of total market risk capital requirement. Reducing the weight of non-modellable risk factors can greatly reduce the required capital and thus increase banks’ profitability. In this research, we will first examine three ways for the purpose of reducing non-modellable risk factors: simple rule-based proxies, statistical modelling approach and machine learning. We will also study another machine learning method based on Gaussian process regression. This method requires fewer parameters for calibration and hence less complex. Since the method is based on well-known probability distribution, it can be understood easily.

Unpacking and Redesigning the Town of Qualicum Beach Development Review Processes

Municipalities manage the approvals processes for real estate development applications. There are a range of approvals that may be sought by a landowner including amendments to Official Community Plans and zoning as well as permits for development and building. In 2019, in response to widespread expressions of frustration, the BC Government undertook the Development Approvals Process Review – a study of development approvals processes in BC municipalities. The study found a lot of room for improvement in the current development process and noted an improved process means more clear communication between all groups and smoother approvals which will have many social and economic benefits. Vancouver Island university, in partnership with the Town of Qualicum Beach and a dozen other local governments, have received a grant from the Union of BC Municipalities to work on improving this process through research, analysis and development of a toolbox of best practices and resources.
