David Fife and Red Fife Wheat

In 1842, David Fife developed Red Fife Wheat, the dominant wheat grown in Western Canada for 60 years – 1860 to 1910. Red Fife is the male parent of Marquis Wheat which, in 1915, supplanted Red Fife as the dominant Canadian wheat. Sharon Rempel’s Heritage Wheat Project in 1988 marked the beginning of the Red Fife Wheat Revival. Artisan bakers prefer Red Fife due to its purity (no GMO), wholesome, nutty taste, milling qualities and nutritious taste. Why is Red Fife Wheat important? Agriculture

Detecting and preventing Colorectal cancer

Detecting and preventing Colorectal cancer

University of Alberta

Every week about 423 Canadians are diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) and a 175 die from it. In Canada it’s the second most commonly diagnosed and globally it’s the third most common. CRC is highly treatable and 90% preventable if caught early—but nearly 50% of cases aren’t.* Early detection is critical, yet current screening options are either not the most accurate and not patient friendly or invasive and expensive: Stool test – 5-15% accurate in detecting colonic polyps (CRC precursor) and

'Sugar' Ray Lemieux: Sugar’s little know health benefits

University of Alberta

Ray Lemieux earning the name ‘Sugar Ray’ for his discovery of synthesized sucrose, Lemieux’s research led to improvements for leukemia and hemophilia treatments and the development of new antibiotics, blood reagents, and organ anti-rejection drugs. The research program Lemieux’s built at the University of Alberta became one of the premier carbohydrate (i.e., sugar) chemistry research groups in the world. Sugar: key to our biological processes and health Carbohydrates play a central role in how

Ondine Biomedical's Photodisinfection Technology

Vancouver General Hospital Won 2013 Global Infection Control Innovation Award with Ondine Biomedical's Photodisinfection Technology and Universal Nasal Decolonization Protocols

Surgical Site infections are the 4th leading cause of death in Canada, representing a serious threat to patient safety. Patients who develop infections post surgery are five times more likely to be readmitted to hospital and twice as likely to die. Surgical site infections also represent a significant cost burden to our provincial healthcare systems. The CDC reports that the average surgical site infection costs over $20,000, suggesting that the surgical site infection burden represents a cost

Vaughan Inventors: Engaging Employees and Searching for Innovation

City of Vaughan

The City of Vaughan’s strategic plan is centred on service excellence. A key component of delivering service excellence is ensuring employees are engaged and empowered to do the very best job they can, as well as strengthening perational performance and enhancing citizen experience. On June 2, the Public Works portfolio kicked off a new employee engagement initiative called Vaughan Inventors. This project actively involved staff in enhancing the citizen experience and advancing operational

Neutrons Assist In The Development Of Sustainable Electricity Grids

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering

With sponsorship from Tesla Motors, one ‘Gold medal’ Canadian scientist is using neutron beams in the quest to reduce the cost of energy storage technologies, which is vital for the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. Although solar panels and wind turbines abound, the inability to store the energy they produce for later use has been a major limitation on the deployment of renewable energy in electricity grids. Tesla Motors’ Chief Technology Officer, JB

Bertram Brockhouse (left), a Professor at McMaster University, mentors a student in the application of neutron beams to study materials. Later, he would win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994.

Brockhouse and the Nobel Prize

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering

The 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Bertram Brockhouse (Canada) and Clifford Shull (USA) who pioneered the use of neutron beams as tools for probing materials. The prize reflected the importance the scientific community places on these versatile and irreplaceable tools. Brockhouse’s methods have been replicated and further advanced at major neutron sources around the world. Today, neutron beams are in high demand by scientists and engineers globally for research. The following article

Bill Buyers Contributes to 2016 Nobel-Prize Winning Research

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering

The 2016 laureates for the Nobel Prize in Physics were three American theorists who made surprising predictions about how some materials could behave. After Canadian physicists, led by Bill Buyers, used neutron beams to experimentally confirm one of these predictions in 1985, the scientific world took notice of the theorists’ astounding claims. Since then, researchers began to classify materials based on these newfound behaviours, leading to more and more discoveries in so-called ‘topological

Creators of "The Relens"

Sharing Our Innovation: "The Relens"

Presley Sibbick

In 2017, students from Hagersville Elementary School in Ontario worked in teams to design, develop and share Innovation Projects. One team of young innovators created ‘The Relens’. The Innovation Project ideas began on a field trip to Nipissing University, Brantford campus, where students ranging from grades 3 to 5 learned about Canadian Innovations and the Innovation Cycle. This field trip was led by student teachers, Joseph Bishop and Presley Sibbick, along with Nipissing University professor

Churchill Rocket Range

The Black Brant Rocket

Churchill Northern Studies Centre

Today the Churchill Rocket Range looks out of date and abandoned. Although it may seem that way, this was not always the case. In the 1950’s, the International Geophysical Year (IGY) and the Cold War created a fascination for space exploration. The idea of setting up the IGY was accepted after Stalin’s death in 1953 because the Soviet Union had interrupted scientific communication between the East and West. These events led to great scientific collaborations. The interest and intrigue of the
