Connect with experts in cutting-edge Canadian labs through the Research Facilities Navigator
Ready for a changing world
From how we produce and use energy, to how we build our homes and communities, to how we confront the peril increasingly stressed resources place on humans and wildlife — research is helping us take on the extraordinary challenges facing our environment. And the hundreds of labs across Canada devoted to finding those solutions have another calling: they are the training ground and inspiration for generations to come whose future will be shaped by our response to a changing world.
