Le Living Lab Lanaudière (LLL) a vu le jour après que la Corporation de développement de la MRC de Joliette (CDÉJ) ait lancé en 2017 une vaste réflexion afin de mettre sur pied un projet novateur pour mieux outiller les entreprises et les milieux lanaudois à faire face aux enjeux d’accès aux percées technologiques, d’automatisation, […]

The purpose of this project is to identify bees and evaluate plant-pollinator networks based on the biomonitoring surveys conducted at the Meadoway in 2020-2021 with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The aim of these surveys is to develop a baseline understanding of bee diversity in The Meadoway and evaluate the effects of plant […]

The proposed research seeks to learn more about the ways Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs), collaborate with Constituent Groups (CGs) and Co-sponsors to sponsor refugees to resettle in Canada. For this project, the Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC), will be used as a case study. Given the limited capacity and resources that SAHs have available to them […]

The project aims to study the use of advanced machine learning algorithms to enhance the ability of TRCA to detect shoreline erosion. Accurate detection of shoreline erosion will have significant contribution to optimizing TRCA asset management plans. This will enable TRCA to work with local communities to reduce the impacts of climate change on shoreline […]

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) use FRANk (Flood Risk Analysis Network), as a post storm decision making tool. This tool uses stream and rain gauge data to aid in managing and maintaining erosion control structures that are impacted by flooding events. However, FRANk has limitations, including a time-consuming rain gauge data collection process, […]

Due to urbanization in the GTA, many green areas are replaced by impervious infrastructure, preventing runoff infiltration and increasing flood risks. The Meadoway project proposed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) aims to restore meadow habitats with native plants along a hydro-corridor over 16 km across Scarborough, which can potentially improve the runoff […]

Les coûts annuels associés à des problèmes de santé mentale au travail sont astronomiques pour une organisation. Conséquemment, l’organisme partenaire a lancé deux sondages portant sur cette thématique Ne disposant pas d’expertise pour analyser pleinement les résultats, l’objectif du projet est donc d’analyser les sondages déployés. Qui plus est, le partenaire s’interroge sur l’efficacité d’activités […]

The cover and extent of pure and mixed pine forests in northeastern North America has significantly declined across their historic range, primarily as a result of changes in fire regime, unsustainable forest management practices, and increased tree mortality due to introduced pathogens. To address the decline of these ecologically, socially, and economically important ecosystems we […]

Comme toute entreprise, les organismes sans but lucratif (OSBL, OBNL ou ONG de leurs petits noms) tendent à croitre avec le temps et donc, à élargir leur offre de services et les projets du même coup. Cette expansion de l’organisme nécessite donc des changements au niveau de la gestion pour continuer leur bon travail tout […]

The Etobicoke Creek watershed is heavily urbanized with significant water quality issues. As part of the development of a watershed plan, scenario analysis allows for modelling different future land use and climate conditions to understand how watershed conditions will change. The purpose of this research is to establish and utilize an appropriate water quality model […]

Travel Manitoba and media promoted the Pinawa Channel Float as a summer tourist destination in 2020 during COVID-19, resulting in more tourists visiting the area. One thousand tourists visited during the week, and up to two thousand during the weekends (Pinawa Proposal to Manitoba Infrastructure, 2020). This matched or doubled the resident population of this […]

Old growth forests provide important ecological services including carbon storage and habitats for a diverse array of species, yet they are often rare across the landscape. These forests are often challenging to identify due to the lack of concrete definitions of what constitutes old growth, as well as the lack of understanding of the typical […]
