Today we rebranded our organization as Generate Canada - a name selected to emphasize our passion for connecting problem-solvers who are driven to generate solutions to the most complex challenges at the nexus of environment, economy, and society. We are inspired by those who harness their vision, creativity, expertise and collaborative spirit to create "wicked solutions" to "wicked problems". An example is Liz Lappin, P. Geo, MBA Lappin who worked with our Energy Futures Lab to build on her bold vision to develop a vibrant battery metals industry in Canada to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles. This helped spawn the creation of the Battery Metals Association of Canada (BMAC). Learn more in the "Solution News" section of our new website at www.generatecanada.ca While you are there, please contribute your own inspirations and aspirations to our "Wicked Solutions Mosaic". Maybe your story can be an inspiration for others! https://lnkd.in/gq9HgUiB #GenerateCanada #WickedSolutions #Innovation #CleanTech #CleanEconomy #DeepCollaboration #HumanCentredSolutions #CanPoli #Canada #Sustainability #Leadership

🎊 🎊 🎊 Public Services and Procurement Canada | Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada (PSPC) is making the most of the historic rehabilitation of the Centre Block, demonstrating true leadership in advancing (read: mainstreaming) accessible and inclusive design. The 200 (or so) washrooms in the #CentreBlock and the new Parliament Visitor Centre will be gender-neutral, 70 washrooms will be barrier-free, and 15 washrooms will be universally accessible with extra maneuvering space and their own washbasins. PSPC (in collaboration with the Public Service Pride Network (PSPN) / Réseau de la Fierté à la fonction publique (RFFP)) is also developing an inclusive washroom guide to support the mainstreaming of accessible and inclusive design in other federal buildings. What a fantastic example of 'building better' so that our fixed assets actually meet the diverse needs of the diverse persons who will work there and visit. This type of accessible and inclusive design, committed to and woven into planning at the earliest of stages, really communicates a dedication to wellbeing, safety and respect.

NEW from ICTC-CTIC: How can Nova Scotia meet its net-zero goals? Allison Clark and Todd Legere spoke to 14 industry leaders to develop key recommendations: 💨 Nova Scotia already possesses many of the skills needed for offshore wind and hydrogen production, both high-potential growth areas for the province. By leveraging the transferable skill sets of workers in the naval sector, offshore oil and gas, and tidal energy, Nova Scotia can accelerate offshore wind energy and other ocean-based clean energy developments—and work-integrated learning (WIL) programs could be the solution. 🎓 Investments in clean energy training and workforce development initiatives are needed to address labour market challenges that currently constrain Nova Scotia’s ability to achieve a net-zero future. This should include continued investments from the province to ensure more training seats in high-demand trades programs. 🤝 Scaling clean energy projects in Nova Scotia will require collective action and collaboration between all government, industry, and community-based stakeholders, particularly in coastal communities impacted by marine renewable energy developments. ⛓️‍💥 Supply chain resiliency related to wind energy should be prioritized, as onshore and offshore wind will be the predominant sources of clean energy for Nova Scotia over the next decade. https://lnkd.in/gdZqVY-n

Public trust in government is essential for a healthy and functioning democracy. To remain strong and resilient, our democratic institutions need to build and maintain public trust. The Government of Canada Trust and Transparency Strategy sets out core principles, a whole-of-government vision, desired outcome, strategic objectives, and commitments to support federal government institutions in reinforcing public trust.

From Adam D.K. King, assistant professor in Labour Studies at the University of Manitoba for The Maple- "Over the past few weeks, Statistics Canada | Statistique Canada has released new material covering disability, accessibility and employment in Canada. A report on accessibility in Canada (based on the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability, CSD) and a related study about the labour market characteristics of people with disabilities provide critical information about the challenges facing the disabled community. While the federal government has committed to making Canada “barrier-free” by 2040, increasing accessibility, particularly in employment, and reducing poverty among those with disabilities, these studies show that there is still plenty left to be done. People with disabilities continue to experience worse employment outcomes and higher rates of poverty than those without disabilities, a situation that is almost entirely the result of poor policy design." #AccessibilityInTheNews Max Brault Alwar Pillai Rick Hansen Kate Kalcevich Samuel Proulx Ernie Crawford Kimberly Neale Sean McElaney M.Sc.

Keeping up with all of the holidays and recognition days seems impossible, which is why we developed a Special Awareness Calendar for nonprofits to reference when creating social media campaigns and other program initiatives.
