Capacity building for good governance and economic development in First Nations in British Columbia

The Ahp-cii-uk Community Society and the Beedie School of Business are submitting a research cluster proposal to the MITACS Accelerate Program with the purpose to continue research conducted by the Ahp-cii-uk Leadership Initiative in the three Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations of Ahousaht, Ehattesaht and Tseshaht. The proposed research cluster will provide interns with an opportunity to apply lessons learned in these three communities to well defined needs expressed by other First Nations, with the financial support of businesses with an interest in encouraging First Nations Economic Development. Ahp-cii uk will benefit from being able to demonstrate the utility of its process, a holistic approach to working with First Nations on economic development projects, in a way that is adequately documented and linked to the aspirations of the relevant communities.

Investigation of adverse effects and healing factor properties of a novel formulation from Blue-O

The appearance of multidrug resistance of pathogens is challenging the researcher and industrial communities to develop more efficacious antimicrobial treatments. Blue-O Technology Incorporation (Blue-O Tech) has developed a novel formulation of medicine that accelerates the wound healing, while having an excellent antimicrobial strength over a broad spectrum of pathogens. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the cytotoxic effects, the immunological response, and the healing properties of this novel medicine prior to its marketing and commercialization.

Development of community wellness indicators in Baker Lake, NU

The Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut has experienced unprecedented development with the construction and opening of Agnico-Eagle’s Meadowbank gold mine, 100km away by all-weather road. As Meadowbank is the first mine to be established in Nunavut since the creation of the territory in 1999, the community of Baker Lake serves as a test case for the rest of the territory. As such, there is considerable interest in tracking conditions in the Hamlet of Baker Lake to ensure that, on balance, the community is becoming more well; indeed, this is a requirement of the Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement (IIBA) signed by Agnico-Eagle and the Kivalliq Inuit Association in 2011. In light of this requirement, Agnico-Eagle has committed to developing a process to track community wellness over time based upon indicators that are meaningful to the Hamlet’s residents. The first step in such a process is to identify these indicators of wellness, which will be completed by the Mitacs intern.
