Currently, mink producers select their breeding animals based on their phenotypic performances, and they have limited experience of using genetic or genomic selection to improve their profitability. Therefore, there is a need to enhance the ability of the Canadian mink industry to compete internationally by improving animal production using new genomic selection tools. Genomic selection […]

Lighten Up Electric (Lightenup), an electrical contracting company based out of Moncton, New Brunswick, have targeted market potential for small-scale residential renewable energy systems in the Maritime region of Canada. The Maritime Provinces have large and undeveloped potential around solar and wind energy capture, but also large potential for development of sustainable design in construction. […]

The Bay of Fundy is recognized as an area of high ecological importance and is home to a diverse fish assemblage. FORCE, Canada’s leading test centre for tidal energy research and development, is currently assessing the potential for tidal energy development in the Upper Bay of Fundy’s Minas Passage. Since 2009, FORCE’s Environmental Effects Monitoring […]

The overarching objective of the RC project is to generate evidence to support the successful development, implementation, and evaluation of the Recovery College model in the Vancouver Coastal Health region of British Columbia.

Girls and Women – Access to Venture Capital is training and coaching program that helps women respond to Investor Q&A with education, e-learning and practice.

We propose using the Cortisol hormone, secreted from the fishes during stressful events, to provide ongoing monitoring of fish welfare while in their habitats. Instrumented aquaculture pens will allow operators to continuously be aware of threats to fish health, including harmful blooms, predators, and/or poachers. As Canadian aquaculture capital investments are remote and offshore, a […]

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes dementia. Effective therapies to slow or reverse progression of AD have yet to be realized clinically, owed largely to the lack of accurate diagnosis achievable by current methods. The need for early, definitive diagnosis of AD during life is imperative for disease management, and relies heavily […]
