Within the City of Edmonton, the Operations Program Delivery and Partnerships (OPDP) team is home to multiple parks programs that make Edmonton more livable, sustainable, and beautiful. The Benchmark Program is one such program. It was established to offer individuals and groups the opportunity to honour loved ones or to celebrate special occasions through the […]

From May 2023 to August 2023, our project aims to address the identified need for a centralized mapping resource for Community Gardens and Pop-Up Community Gardens. The project will deliver a comprehensive map informing future placements of both types of gardens, including historical information, geographical positioning, and demographic data. Tasks involve researching and compiling historical […]

Ce projet de recherche est associé au développement d’une technologie verte de recyclage pour des copolymères styréniques tel que le HIPS et l’ABS. Ces deux plastiques sont très utilisés dans les domaines de l’électronique, de l’automobile, et dans la conception d’une myriade d’autres matériaux que nous utilisons tous les jours. La technologie de recyclage de […]

EuroPassport aims to strategically position itself in the market with the introduction of a new SaaS platform to disrupt the legal immigration industry. This project focuses on comprehensive research and analysis to understand market dynamics, customer needs, and competitive landscapes.

Dog ownership is increasing within our cities along with increasing usage of dog parks and off-leash areas. This increased usage is drastically increasing the amount of waste within these off-leash areas. Understanding the factors that affect how waste can be reduced or diverted from landfills is key in creating a more sustainable long term waste […]

For nearly three decades, Edmonton has been a pioneer in urban sustainability, implementing naturalization projects that revert sections of maintained City green space to a more native and ecologically balanced state. These efforts span diverse urban areas, including roadways, storm water ponds, park spaces, and communities. The City’s Naturalization program strategically plants trees, shrubs, and […]

Dog ownership is increasing within our cities along with increasing usage of dog parks and off-leash areas. This increased usage is likely impacting the environment within these off-leash areas. Effects may include chemical and physical changes to the soil and vegetation that could lead to soil erosion and mortality of vegetation ranging from grasses to […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour but d’améliorer un simulateur de boxe en réalité virtuelle afin d’aider les athlètes de boxe canadiens à s’entraîner de manière plus performante tout en réduisant les risques de blessures, telles que les commotions cérébrales. Le stagiaire sera responsable de l’évaluation de l’interface utilisateur du simulateur, en établissant une étude […]

This research project has two goals. The first goal is to design and test software that will analyze the content of transcribed 9-1-1 emergency calls. We will use Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perform an evaluation of the operator performance during the 9-1-1 call and generate an evaluation form in the […]

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer plastics are used in many commercial applications, ranging from housing for goods, automotive fascia, LEGO bricks to 3D printing materials. Consequently, the recycling of ABS poses a challenge in the context of recycling plastic waste. It is particularly difficult as it is a multi-phase material. Polystyvert has applied their expertise in recycling […]

This Mitacs Acelerate proposal is the first of three-phase project of Adriana’s Goncalves master’s thesis. For this present MITACS proposal, it will be investigated routes to extract gold, mercury and other possible valuable minerals from a representative sample of AGM tailings from Costa Rica. The tailings belong to a small Canadian company, Newlox Gold that […]

This project seeks to evaluate how contamination can influence the growth of a bacterial community. These experiments will be performed using small scale bioreactors in a lab setting, where 1 contamination source can be evaluated at a time. The results of these experiments will be evaluated by using 16s Amplicon sequencing to determine which bacterial […]
