The Environmental Advisory Committee has been conducting environmental sampling since 2008 in response to degrading water quality in a recreational lake setting. All indications point to cultural eutrophication (i.e. nutrient pollution) owing to shoreline development, boat traffic, use of fertilizers and leaky septic systems. During the past five years, the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) has […]

A disturbing number of aggregate pop-out cases have recently been observed in newly poured concrete throughout the City of Saskatoon. A “pop-out” is a small, often cone-shaped void in a horizontal concrete surface left after a near-surface aggregate particle has fractured. Aggregate pop-outs can accelerate the deterioration of concrete sidewalks and can result in safety […]

The City of Toronto wishes to assemble a comprehensive set of available historical neighbourhood-scale Census data. While a wealth of historical Canadian Census data exist in the public domain, it is largely inaccessible to users who lack specialized training and skills due fragmentation of data holdings and their storage in different formats. Making use of […]

Project Horizon is a significant campus redevelopment project being undertaken by SickKids in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care over the next decade in the heart of Toronto’s downtown core. The redevelopment project for a renewal of clinical care and support areas of the hospital will increase inpatient hospital beds and treatment […]

This research project will develop new methods for detecting space debris, communication signals, and moon dust equipped on spacecraft and satellites to be launched in the future. One of the major concerns with equipment orbiting Earth is the possible collision with space debris. Also, a lunar outpost equipped with the Canadarm3 is planned for completion […]

Magnestar is developing the electromagnetic capabilities and an operator community application to enable space assets to work more efficiently, and sustain operations through solar flares, regolith contamination, signal interference and space debris collision to increase the longevity of asset life. This Mitac BSI project proposal is for the co-op students to assist in the innovation […]

The City of Edmonton (CoE) and the Governors of the University of Alberta (UofA) realize the shared interests and vision of our institutions through the ‘City of Edmonton and Post-Secondary Senior Advisory Committee (PS-SAC)’ engagement program.

Ce projet porte sur le développement de méthodes et stratégies intelligentes pour la gestion énergétique, la recharge et la gestion thermique pour les véhicules sport récréatifs ou véhicules tout terrain VTT. Le projet cherche entre autres à améliorer les performances du système et à faciliter la transition des véhicules actuellement propulsés par moteurs à combustion […]

Dans ce projet, on propose de développer des applications afin de recycler les sacs plastiques en fin de vie. Pour ce faire, des études seront menées afin de déterminer la composition de tous les sacs disponibles par un centre de tri afin de les transformer, seuls ou avec d’autres matières résiduelles, dans des pièces moulées. […]

As the urgency for action against climate change increases, local governments around the world are committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through deep decarbonization targets. Cities are the largest place-based sources of GHG emissions and therefore have great potential to reduce emissions on a global scale. To reach net-zero by 2050, transformative change is not […]

Global and local policy makers require realistic information about options to achieve sustainable development. To this end, this research project aims to improve understanding of the institutional dynamics related to implementing community sustainability strategies and the resulting plan outcomes. Plan outcomes are the concrete sustainability improvements, linked to the goals in the community sustainability strategies […]

The following project will be concentrated on developing an updated Economic Development Strategic Plan for the Township of Oro-Medonte.
