Le paysage du Vieux-Montréal et des anciens faubourgs est en train de changer face à l’augmentation du nombre de touristes, d’événements et surtout de résidents (de 500 dans les années 1960 à plus de 6000 résidents en 2016). Ce secteur unique à Montréal est confronté à mieux faire cohabiter la fonction résidentielle avec les fonctions […]

Protected areas naturally attract conservationists keen to preserve pristine environments. Hospitality companies exploit these areas to expand tourism. Private interests are often supported by lobby groups such as chambers of commerce and hotel associations. Between the conservationists and private sector owners are the employees that provide essential services from chambermaids to bartenders who mostly earn […]

Social transformation requires a deep understanding of the cultural, economic and historical forces and flows that connect peoples, places, and world views, and of the difficulties of intervening in complex, dynamic systems. This research project uses the methodology of social cartography to map diverse (and potentially conflicting) interests, ambitions and orientations of socially engaged communities […]

Ontario municipalities are required to conserve significant cultural heritage landscapes. This requires identification of these landscapes, evaluating their significance, and determining how much their local communities value them. Some municipalities have engaged professionals to study their cultural heritage landscapes sometimes involving consultation of the public. Most public consultation approaches, however, are often difficult to afford […]

Le tableau de bord de gestion (TBG) est un outil visuel de plus en plus courant auprès des gestionnaires pour réaliser le suivi de la performance organisationnelle. Il consiste à afficher de l’information portant sur l’état de l’organisation afin de soutenir le gestionnaire dans ses décisions. Ainsi, le TBG doit permettre au gestionnaire d’obtenir une […]

Every time it rains, there is a portion of water that doesn’t get absorbed by plants and soils. That water is known as run-off, and it requires management since it can create high energy flows and pick up harmful chemicals (e.g. fertilizers, pesticides, gasoline, tire wear) off the streets, driveways, and other hard surfaces as […]

Attracting and retaining employees in rural and remote areas is difficult due to the isolated nature of the communities. These communities, however, need places to shop for food, clothing and commercial goods and that is where local co-operatives come in. Local co-operatives are businesses that support their communities, but who is interested in working in […]

Prostate cancer will affect 1 in 7 Canadian males. While the number of therapeutic options is increasing, matching each patient to the right therapy remains as the challenge for a personalized approach to patient management. Currently, most of the attention has focused on identifying biological tags that can predict patients response. We have developed an […]

Prostate cancer is the disease of the old, effecting 1 in 7 Canadians with a death burden of 1 in 28. The management of the disease becomes extremely difficult with the development of the nonresponsive and aggressive form of the cancer. Thus, the clinicians are rendered helpless and hence there is an urgent need for […]

Au Canada, le cancer épithélial de l’ovaire (CEO) est à l’origine de 1500 décès par an. Etant donné qu’aucune amélioration de la survie des patientes n’a été observée durant les dernières décennies, il devient impératif de développer de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques de ce cancer. Le CEO est caractérisé par une hétérogénéité accrue qui s’installe dès […]

Au Canada, le cancer de l’ovaire est le deuxième cancer gynécologique le plus commun. Étant donné que cette maladie est asymptomatique pendant les stades précoces, plus de 70% des patientes sont diagnostiquées à des stades avancés. Le but de notre projet est de proposer de nouvelles options thérapeutiques du cancer de l’ovaire. Il est établi […]

We propose a novel approach that will provide researchers with an improved method to study multiple molecules, simultaneously in the same tissue section. Our strategy is to use novel nanoparticles that each emit unique multispectral signature and can be used simultaneously. We aim to develop a novel method to detect 15 breast cancer and immunotherapy-related […]
