The purpose of this study is to identify sources, locations, and quantities of unutilized marine biomass materials that are available within the province, and to identify opportunities for improving the industry’s utilization of these materials. The inventory assessment will focus on unutilized marine biomass materials generated by the seafood processing sector from landings of commercially […]

The primary purpose of this project is to mitigate phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) runoff from agricultural lands in the Bay of Quinte Area of Concern (AOC) using passive reactors. These reactors are cheap and easy to construct and use waste eggshells as the main reactive material creating a useful product from a waste material. […]

In today’s housing crisis, many low income tenants are unjustly evicted and displaced from their homes. To date, we have very little knowledge of how this happens and what this means to tenants, particularly outside big cities. This project will disseminate research into displacement conducted in four communities across Ontario: Oxford County, York Region, Kingston […]

The CBPPL Company generates five tons of biomass ash daily as a byproduct of generating heat from their boiler. Currently, this waste is disposed of at the local landfill. However, it is acknowledged that the soil in the region is of low fertility and requires correction for agricultural purposes. Therefore, this document proposes a technical […]

As extreme weather events become more frequent, home insurance claims are rising. These losses undermine Canadians’ financial security and emotional well-being. Collaborating with Innovation North, Co-operators will reimagine the role of home insurance to catalyze a circular economy. This research will not only contribute to the very practical outcomes of catalyzing change within the insurance […]

Graph burning is a mathematical game or process that has applications in financial cyber security, as it can be used to model “dirty money” spreading throughout a network of accounts. Hypergraph burning is a similar process that is played on a more complex network-like structure called a hypergraph. We investigate an alternative rule set for […]

The Rural Development Network is looking to engage an intern to research and uncover best practices around work-integrated learning (WIL) programs. WIL combines classroom theory with practical experience (e.g. apprenticeship). This project will support and strengthen collaboration between post-secondary institutions, employers, and students across Canada in a rural and remote context. Together, we will identify […]

Rural homelessness in Canada is still an ongoing problem that the country is trying to address. Most of Canada’s indigenous families in remote communities are living in substandard housing that needs major repairs. 3D printing of cementitious material to digitally construct building structures has already gained considerable attention from both the public and private sectors. […]

With constant news about population decline and a perceived lack of action from governments, people feel discouraged about the future of wild salmon. There is a need for a new, bold plan for wild Atlantic salmon conservation in the freshwater environment that will start working today, and 100 years from now. Plans are underway to […]

Le broyeur semi-autogène (SAG) est le broyeur primaire le plus commun dans les usines minéralurgiques en raison de son faible coût en capital. Bien que très performants, les broyeurs SAG sont souvent opérés de manière sous-optimale (manquant quelques points de pourcentage de capacité), car il est impossible de voir ce qui se passe à l’intérieur […]

Fledge is an educational technology intervention for preventative mental health that will be implemented in classrooms for children from kindergarten to grade 3 to target stress/anxiety, focus, and emotional regulation. In order to assess the effectiveness of this intervention, the proposed research project will evaluate mental health literacy/social emotional learning and application of skills by […]

This research project aims to address the current cyber security shortcomings in the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry by proposing a comprehensive solution for secure and resilient condition monitoring in this sector. The objective is to integrate cybersecurity modules into the existing condition-monitoring tool developed by Cyber pattern Inc.. The proposed solution comprises two distinct […]
