Emissions from the buildings sector account for over half of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions, of which about one quarter is attributed to the city’s ~32,000 small commercial buildings. To meet the City of Toronto’s Net Zero by 2040 target, these buildings must be retrofitted and electrified. Small business owners are uniquely positioned for decarbonization with […]

Edmonton’s public transit (PT) system plays a prominent role in reducing transportation related GHG emissions. Encouraging more people to use PT is not only a structural intervention, but also behavioral, as individuals, especially those with access to other modes, have to make a conscious choice to travel by PT. This choice has become increasingly complex […]

The Lheidli T’enneh Health Center is partnering with Melissa Bates, a UNBC graduate student, and Dr. Margot Parkes, a UNBC associate professor in the School of Health Sciences, to explore how connections to the environment are good for the community and the land, from the perspective of Lheidli T’enneh community members. This includes supporting land-based […]

The Ocean Super Cluster is interested in gaining more insight into the perceptions and attitudes of young talent, that influence their interest in participating in Ocean careers. Research has been conducted in the past that shed light on the perceptions and intentions of youth (grades 6-9) living in maritime regions, and this previous research will […]

The objective of this research is to develop an Ontario-based Wastewater Management Standard (WWMS), which is aligned with the currently statutorily required Ontario Drinking Water Management Standard (DWQMS) and with ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. This proposed research will bring much needed standardization for the quality and environmental management for municipal and non-municipal wastewater […]

Canada’s West coast is prone to tsunamis induced from local megathrust earthquakes that can be generated from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The main objective of this research is to study, analyze and simulate the current detection, notification and response systems for an earthquake and resulting tsunami and develop a comprehensive solution using the network […]

While many Canadian planning practitioners are familiar with the harmful legacies of transportation infrastructure development in the United States, particularly as it relates to the displacement and forced removal of racialized and low-income communities, there is comparatively little documentation or awareness of this history in Canada.

There are increasing calls to build green spaces (UGS) that provide ecosystems to city residents. For example, one approach is to transform degraded UGS beneath hydrocorridors into restored meadows (e.g., The Meadoway in Toronto, Canada). This ecosystem is meant to act as a place for recreation and habitats to support wildlife. To maintain this desired […]

This research aims to determine and study the sources of MPs in the SoG and identify the processes controlling MP dispersal within the MetroVancouver area. The majority of marine MPs are suspected to originate from and-based sources including wastewater and stormwater/ road runoff. This project will assist in the identification and quantification of the various […]
