Our organization is currently facing a strategic growth challenge related to brand visibility, digital engagement, and member/client acquisition in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving communications environment. While we maintain day-to-day marketing activities such as event promotion, email communications, and basic social media management, we lack the dedicated capacity to analyze performance data, modernize our […]

The objective of the project is to plan data collection for the design of machine learning models and algorithms capable of characterizing quantum interference between optical and quantum channels, or between quantum channels. We plan to use the NUMANA testbed to deploy the experiments to collect the required data. This will involve generating a quantum […]

This project will develop a comprehensive community assessment tool to enhance United Way Halton & Hamilton’s strategic funding approach and strengthen their capacity to respond to evolving community needs. Building upon their established success in mobilizing $12.5 million annually across 117 programs that serve over 200,000 residents, UWHH seeks to advance their evidence-based decision-making through […]

La litière forestière fermentée est un amendement potentiellement intéressant pour les agriculteurs en grandes cultures biologiques. Toutefois, à l’heure actuelle, aucune donnée sur l’utilisation et les caractéristiques de cet amendement n’est connue pour l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue. L’objectif principal est de l’étude est d’évaluer le potentiel de la litière forestière comment amendement de sol en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Plus spécifiquement, […]

Mass timber – an innovative, wood-based alternative to concrete and steel – is key to building greener cities, but its widespread use in Canada is currently limited by uncertainty over construction costs. Developers and builders lack reliable, standardized data to compare the price of mass timber projects against traditional building methods and materials across different […]

Les comptes en fidéicommis jouent un rôle essentiel dans la pratique notariale en garantissant la sécurité des fonds confiés par les clients jusqu’à leur affectation finale. Ils constituent un mécanisme de protection du public et de préservation de la confiance envers les notaires. Cependant, leur gestion soulève des enjeux complexes de traçabilité, de conformité réglementaire […]

The Canadian Robotics Council (CRC), a non-profit organization with the agility of a startup, is launching a National Case Study Library to accelerate robotics and Physical AI adoption across Canada. This initiative will collect and analyze real-world examples of how robotics is being used, providing valuable insights on what works, what doesn’t, and where opportunities […]

This project will help the Whitecourt ISGA Tourism Association (WITA) share its story and show the positive impact it has on the community. WITA offers land-based tourism experiences such as workshops, trail walks, and cultural activities that support local entrepreneurs and celebrate Nakota culture. Working in partnership with Catalyste+, which has supported WITA through 15 […]

Les milieux humides assurent des fonctions écologiques essentielles : préservation de la biodiversité, séquestration du carbone, régulation des inondations et purification de l’eau. Pourtant, ces écosystèmes sont en déclin rapide, disparaissant à un rythme trois fois plus élevé que les forêts, sous la pression de l’urbanisation, de l’agriculture intensive et de l’extraction des ressources. Bien […]

Workplace wellness programs often fail to improve mental health due to minimal uptake and engagement. Digital tools for mental health support are becoming increasingly popular; however, work programs are typically delivered through in-person formats and focus on more severe forms of support (e.g., offering leaves of absence) which often results in low engagement from the […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects movement, much like an orchestra losing its conductor; signals become uncoordinated, leading to tremors, stiffness, and difficulty moving. This happens when dopamine-producing cells in the brain’s substantia nigra die. A major cause of this cell death is oxidative stress, an imbalance between harmful molecules called free radicals and the body’s protective […]

Freshwater turtles are one of the most at-risk vertebrate groups, with nearly two-thirds of species facing extinction risk. Nest predation by mammals is a major threat to freshwater turtles, which has resulted in community-based nest protection efforts in many regions around the world, including Nova Scotia, Canada. Although widely implemented, the efficacy of nest protection […]
