Established in 1986, Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) is a multi-service urban Aboriginal agency providing holistic, culture-based programs and services for Indigenous children and families. NCFST has now arrived at the stage where we must better reflect the holistic Indigenous worldview so that we better reflect what we are supposed to be: […]

The project will accomplish the goal of transferring the academic knowledge in synthesis of tunable plasmonic nanoparticles developed at Wilfrid Laurier University to Nicoya, the company developing advanced instrumentation based on plasmonic sensing using metal nanoparticles. The developed nanoparticles will be tested, and fine-tuned, if required, to satisfy all the criteria required for their industrial […]

All five sturgeon species in Canada are considered at-risk. Conservation research on sturgeons often involves capturing wild sturgeon and performing procedures like tagging surgeries, so we can better understand their ecology in waters that are often impacted by human activities. In this project, we will work with our partner organisation, BC Hydro, to try to […]

The superplastic metal blow forming process involves using air pressure to force a metal sheet at very high temperatures into the shape of a die for the purpose of manufacturing a component part. It has been shown that by subjecting the forming pressure to small pulsations within a range of amplitude and frequency, results in […]

Our project seeks funding through the MITACS Globalink internship to introduce a revolutionary approach to pilot training by integrating virtual flight simulation and biometric machine learning. Dr. Michael Barnett-Cowan leads this cross-disciplinary initiative, utilizing his expertise in flight simulation and motion sickness to develop a sustainable, inclusive, and cost-effective flight training system. At the core […]

The dairy cow industry is a significant contributor to emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane because of anaerobic fermentation that occurs in every cow’s forestomach. The proposed research aims to contribute to development of dietary strategies to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows by at least 50% without affecting wellness markers and lactation performance. […]

D-Wave is at the forefront of building quantum annealers, which are quantum computing devices that can potentially solve an important class of problems more efficiently than classical computers. One important goal of D-Wave is to claim that they have attained quantum supremacy, which means they have built a machine that can do something that no […]

Small reservoirs are widely used in semi-arid regions by local rural communities for water harvesting. South India is a prime example of a region characterized by an unpredictable, severe climate with over 160,000 ancient old water storage reservoir structures (known as tanks) that are no longer fully utilized since the introduction of groundwater extraction. Today, […]

One of the objectives of this project is to analyze the impact of policies and regulations on the provision of cash through cash access points – bank branches and ATMs. Currently, there is a proposed acquisition of HSBC by RBC and the potential Laurentian Bank of Canada sale offer two case-studies of consolidation between FIs […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

The collaborative effort between INSA Rennes and the University of Toronto will center around advancing research related to beam/column joints with passing-through plates-to-SHS connections, where the SHS column is infilled with concrete. This collaboration seeks to leverage the expertise and unique contributions of both institutions to address the gaps in current knowledge, especially in the […]

One of the sustainability challenges of the tourism sector is that, while there is growing understanding that volume alone is not a determinant of balanced tourism development, the standard indicators used to measure, track and report tourism sector performance are volume-based, i.e., number of arrivals/overnight stays. This issue results in policies, budgets, and strategies that […]
