The proposed research project at Tabor Lake, led by a dedicated intern, focuses on transforming the overgrown aquatic weeds in the lake into a valuable resource. These weeds, currently a nuisance, will be converted into organic compost through innovative and eco-friendly methods. This compost can then be used to enrich soil, supporting agriculture and gardening. […]

Le projet vise à relancer la natation au Québec en identifiant les marqueurs de performance en natation. Cela permettra de créer un guide de développement et des protocoles de tests pour suivre les athlètes sur le long terme. Les marqueurs de performance en natation peuvent être divisés en deux catégories principales: les marqueurs physiologiques et […]

Outre l’étude documentaire des sources du droit de la preuve électronique et autres documents internes à la CSF, les stagiaires auront des rencontres avec le personnel de la CSF impliqué dans la manipulation de […]

Wetlands offer various benefits to the environment. They help store carbon, regulate the climate, and improve water quality. Wetlands also have a cooling effect on their surroundings, which influences the local and regional climate. This cooling effect benefits the plants and animals in the area. Due to changes in how we use land and more […]

The intern’s comprehensive market scan […]

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is responsible for most diagnosed human hepatitis infections. HAV spreads via the fecaloral route, either through person-to-person contact or via contaminated water and foods. PCR serves as the gold standard for detecting enteric viruses, but has limitations that have hindered the application in resourcelimited environments. A novel molecular detection assay based […]

Workplaces have an important role to play when it comes to promoting the mental health of employees. Whereas we have an extensive body of evidence about how to develop and deliver interventions to promote employee wellbeing and mental health in large organizations, leaders in organizations often face steep barriers when adapting those interventions in small […]

Many adults living with attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity (AD/HD) struggle in the workplace with daily tasks like time management and focusing at work. Unfortunately, they often face stigma and do not get the support they need. Our goal is to adapt an intervention program to help them with their mental health challenges […]

The subproject focuses on the intersection of cultural policy and responsible AI development. The problem of data bias and automated recommendation are two known problems in cultural industries and AI development relevant to the Discoverability project. The project seeks to develop alternative forms of algorithmic recommendation that differ from the de facto emphasis on personalization. […]

Streams and rivers benefit people and wildlife. Climate change has caused streams and rivers in British Columbia to become drier. Man-made dams retain water but are difficult to maintain. North American beaver (Castor canadensis) build dams that retain water, and quickly repair damage, which help solve man-made dam challenges. Ducks Unlimited Canada wants to use […]

Nous connaissons actuellement un déclin sans précédent de la biodiversité, et l’urbanisation du territoire fait partie des principales causes de cet enjeu. Ce projet vise la sensibilisation et la mobilisation des municipalités et des acteurs de la filière de l’horticulture ornementale, environnementale et nourricière autour des pratiques horticoles favorisant la protection et l’accroissement de la […]

The Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW, Orcinus orca) population is assessed at 75 individuals, and significant threats include high levels of endocrine disrupting contaminants, alongside other anthropogenic threats. Studies have painted a partial picture of the contaminants of concern in the SRKW food web. For example, preliminary studies of chinook salmon suggest that some resident […]
