En 2024, l’archidiocèse de Québec, premier évêché du Nouveau Monde au nord du Mexique, commémorera son 350e anniversaire. À l’origine, son territoire correspondait à la Nouvelle-France. Par la suite, il n’a cessé de voir son étendue se restreindre au fur et à mesure que la population s’accroissait et qu’il fallait créer de nouveaux diocèses pour […]

Social Enterprise is a catalyst for social and economic empowerment and inclusion, and has been identified as an innovative opportunity to address workforce challenges and economic sustainability in Southwestern Newfoundland. The goal of this project is to facilitate evidence-based research and analysis and to disseminate resources and practical tools which encourages and supports social enterprise […]

Tile drainage is becoming popular as a way to control excess moisture in the field to increase productivity. Yet, the economic return on investment (ROI) on installing tile drainage is not known for wheat, canola, and soybeans in Manitoba. This research will allow us to assess the impact of water management through controlled drainage on […]

The Yukon’s Northern Boreal Mountains region is under increasing pressure from human disturbance and climate change. Exploration of previously untapped natural resources is expanding in northern Canada, and northern ecosystems are thought to be more sensitive to climate stressors[1]. However, the cumulative effects of these co-occurring disturbances on wildlife populations, community structure, and habitat quality […]

Microwave welding is proposed as a fabrication technique for joining thermoplastic polymer based composites. Microwave welding uses microwave energy and in the present study, a domestic microwave has been proposed to carry out the microwave welding of the thermoplastic components. Thermoplastic materials studied in this project will be considered after referring technical literature and in […]

My doctoral research investigates mental health challenges of Canadian farmers, to more effectively address them. My research includes a nationwide epidemiological survey examining the prevalence and factors associated with depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and burnout. Additionally, I conducted 75 one-on-one qualitative interviews with farmers and others in the agricultural industry to provide an in-depth understanding […]

Deep retrofits are a holistic approach to increasing a building’s capacity to be resilient to and adapt to climate events, such as: heat waves, flooding, air pollution, and earthquakes. Deep retrofits also help to lower a building’s energy use and operational and embodied carbon emissions. Operational carbon emissions are the greenhouse gas emissions associated with […]

Ontario’s Greenbelt is composed of nearly 2 million acres of protected land including natural areas that provide ecosystem services to millions of people. While these areas face reduced pressure from land use conversion, they still face a pressures typical of natural systems in peri-urban landscapes including loss of biodiversity, invasive species, impacts from infrastructure projects […]

Ce projet vise à développer une technique de lutte respectueuse de l’environnement contre les ravageurs de la canneberge : la confusion sexuelle des insectes, ce qui aura comme conséquence la réduction de l’utilisation des pesticides dans cette culture. Le partenaire pourra alors proposer une solution potentielle aux producteurs de canneberges biologiques et potentiellement conventionnelles.
