Stony Plain Greenspace Plan

The Town of Stony Plain is seeking an intern to create a Greenspace Plan that will establish an inventory and identify existing uses of parks and greenspaces, and outline future uses, monitoring, and management practices as they relate to recreation, active transportation, utilities, and stormwater, among others. The Town currently has some of this information available, however, the missing piece is tying it all together to create a cohesive green network that is publicly accessible for all residents of and visitors to the community. Having a Greenspace Plan in place will provide the necessary framework to educate the community on the availability, purpose, and intended uses of existing greenspaces, while promoting and encouraging active management and monitoring to ensure ecological resources are valued and protected for the future.

Layer-two Blockchain-Based Solutions for Document Processing

DocuSafe Systems Inc. is a Canadian-based company that provides document processing services including document authentication and notarization. This project explores the use of a so-called layer 2 blockchain-based solutions in order to make the traditional document authentication less costly. A major benefit of a layer 2 blockchain solution over the use of the layer one blockchain is its speed and cost. This work is a continuation of our current work on using the layer one blockchain for document processing.

Corrélation entre les propriétés rhéologiques et physiques d’un élastomère

La production de pièces techniques en caoutchouc met en oeuvre un procédé de transformation irréversible, la vulcanisation, qui permet d’attribuer à la pièce des propriétes mécaniques qui doivent respecter des valeurs de spécifications précises. Un non-respect des critères de qualité engendre un gaspillage, car en raison du caractère difficilement recyclable du caoutchouc, la matière des pièces produites et rebutées ne peut être réutilisée. Des tests de rhéométrie sont effectués sur le caoutchouc brut avant vulcanisation afin de le caractériser. Malheureusement, ces tests renseignent très peu sur les propriétés physiques que le même caoutchouc vulcanisé aura sous sa forme de produit final. En effet, les procédés et conditions de tests du caoutchouc brut et de pièces vulcanisées diffèrent grandement. L’établissement d’une loi de corrélation entre les tests de rhéométrie et les tests physiques permettrait de prédire les propriétés physiques d’un produit avant sa fabrication. Les sources de gaspillage de matière dues à une non-conformité des propriétés mécaniques du produit s’en verront alors réduites, résultant en des économies de temps et d’argent.

Accounting Process Restructuring

The intern will develop a bookkeeping/accounting procedural handbook for Solaris. This will require them to learn standard bookkeeping and accounting practices that small businesses engage in, critically think through these processes, and finally- refine and ensure that these processes are efficient. Solaris, the partner organization, will benefit by having a written procedural handbook that will assist the business in training and creating standardization within the accounting processes.

Barriers to employment access, participation, and progress among racialized communities in Windsor-Essex

This research project will be focused on addressing the relationship between the racialized groups and their employment opportunities. The results of the research will encourage a healthy discussion and provide a direction for addressing the needs of racialized groups. This research project will be conducted in collaboration with other community partners and will investigate the effects of discrimination and/or racism of immigrant employees. Some objectives include raising awareness of the existing employments barriers that immigrants in the Windsor-Essex region face. This research also aims to suggest ways to improve the integration of newcomers and immigrants and eliminate existing barriers.

Windsor Choral Festival: Planning a Choral Festival through the Opening Stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Choral singing has significant social and health benefits (Carr, 2006; Davids & LaTour, 2022; Parkinson, 2020). Provincial guidelines have placed substantial restrictions on singing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The absence of singing has resulted in negative impact on the mental health and wellbeing of both choristers and choral directors (Evison, forthcoming; Youngblood et al., 2021). As the province begins to recover from various organizational, economic, and social hardships due to the pandemic, choirs are returning to their previous program of rehearsals and performances. The objective of this Mitacs project is to revive the Windsor Choral Festival, supporting local choral music learning, social activity, and performance.
The WCF serves approximately 350 singers annually and is completely free of charge for participants. The mandates are 1) provide ongoing vocal training and education with expert clinicians; 2) promote community building through collaborative singing; and 3) encourage the creation and performance of Canadian music. WCF 2022 (virtual) will include a Conductor’s Circle to discuss re-opening strategies; a public vocal workshop with three clinicians, Dr. Melissa Morgan (University of Regina), Dr. Tim Shantz (University of Alberta), and Prof. Karen Burke (York University); and a streamed concert featuring Windsor-Essex choirs. The engagement of these clinicians is in alignment with the WCF commitment to EDI. WCF 2023 (in person) will include a Conductor’s Circle; choral clinics for approximately 8 choirs with a clinician (Dr. Joel Tranquilla, Trinity Western University); a public workshop; and a live, in-person concert featuring participating choirs, including the premiere of a commissioned work.

Blockchain Recordkeeping in healthcare services

The project aims to identify various usability factors and how they affect user’s perception of the trustworthiness of the blockchain-based record and their intentions to adopt this technology. The study also aims in increasing our current understanding of how usability affects users’ perception of the trustworthiness of blockchain technology for personal health data sharing. The resulting datasets and other reported design implications can be used in improving features in existing wallets leading to further blockchain-based health wallets in the healthcare industry.

Digital Innovation Project

This project is intended to develop our online learning products, the marketing of those products, and the marketing and selling of them via our website and other marketing channels. We would like to engage an MTEI graduate intern to assist with the planning and implementation of digitizing a few of our products. From there we wish to market and sell these digital learning products to our clients. We want to convert some of our learning programs, currently delivered live, to a self-paced online product. We plan to market these materials and this project will develop online learning as well as create marketing content associated directly with these products to reach a market segment that purchases online.
