Les enjeux touchant l’alimentation sont nombreux et interreliés (insécurité alimentaire, gaspillage alimentaire, manque de connaissances relatives à la conservation et la transformation des aliments). Pour faire face à ces enjeux, la concertation et la coordination des acteurs du secteur alimentaire sont primordiales : producteurs, transformateurs, épiciers, restaurateurs, commissions scolaires, organismes de soutien alimentaire et d’autres […]

This project is a collaboration between the University of Guelph and the Halton Hills Heritage Foundation for the development of educational programming for the Lucy Maud Montgomery Museum and Literary Centre (LMMMLC). The LMMMLC has the potential to become a social and cultural hub in the Halton Region based in the town of Norval, Ontario. […]

Development and oversight of an integrated water and waste management system including rainwater harvesting, grey water reuse for toilet flushing and irrigation, vertical and horizontal flow constructed wetland for septic treatment paired with outdoor composting toilets for seasonal use, and permaculture landscaping for passive rainwater retention. Upon completion, ongoing testing and monitoring procedures will be […]

The goal of this project is to examine the effect of one-time unconditional direct cash-transfer to recently homeless individuals in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Building on promising results from our research team’s ground-breaking pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 50 cash recipients, the current project seeks to confirm this preliminary evidence using a larger RCT with […]

Off the coast of British Columbia, Resident Killer Whales are considered at-risk and increasing evidence points to a lack of food (salmon) as one of their main threats. Resident Killer Whales have a complex social structure, where family groups are stable, matriarchal, and form associations with other family groups. The family groups or “matrilines” forage […]

The research contributes to the k?usxnitk? (Okanagan Lake) Responsibility Planning Initiative (OKLRPI), a syilx Indigenous-led process coordinated by the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program, and regional and provincial authorities. The OKLRPI responds to the Okanagan Lake Foreshore Inventory and Mapping reports which documented large-scale losses in natural areas. In 2022, OKLRPI will […]

Au lac Saint-Pierre, la culture de soya et du maïs dans le littoral a contribué à détériorer la qualité de l’eau et à mettre en péril les populations de perchaude. L’implantation de bandes riveraines et de bandes herbacées le long de fossés agricoles fait partie des solutions avancées pour rendre l’agriculture plus compatible avec la […]

Climate change predictions make it highly likely that Pacific salmon will be exposed to future water temperature extremes. Given the importance of cold water to maintain Pacific salmon, the availability of discrete cold-water patches in rivers/streams that can act as thermal refugia may become increasingly critical to protect salmon. Such refugia can be provided by […]

The Yellow Point Ecological Society (YES) works to understand, appreciate, protect, and restore the ecosystems and watersheds in the Yellow Point area of Vancouver Island. YES is investigating the possibility of setting up a natural burial site by purchasing either a piece of land slated for logging or one already decimated and ready for reforestation. Intern […]

If Canada is to achieve its 30×30 targets (protecting 30% of land and water by 2030), a combination of emissions reductions and innovative carbon sequestration solutions are needed. Further, these solutions must achieve multiple benefits for health and community resilience given that adverse health and climate change impacts are predicted to disproportionately impact vulnerable communities.
