The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified systemic and longstanding inequalities, with women and girls disproportionately impacted by the crisis. Women have faced job losses and reduced work hours, shouldered the majority of the additional unpaid care responsibilities at home, and continue to be on the front lines of the pandemic. As Canada moves towards an inclusive recovery, meaningful progress to advance gender equality is needed now more than ever to ensure no one is left behind.
To further support critical recovery efforts led by the women s and equality-seeking movement, today the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development, announced 237 projects to receive funding under the $100 million Feminist Response and Recovery Fund call for proposals.

Made in Canada Additive Manufacturing forges ahead despite headwinds: new report Published: April 29th, 2021 By: ICTC
Ottawa, April 27, 2021 Canada’s diverse Additive Manufacturing (AM) ecosystem boasts several world-renowned firms adopting the technology, and notable success in niche areas such as metal powder feedstock, metal AM research, and applications in aerospace and health sciences. But Canadian AM also faces challenges such as slow industry adoption, partially due to cost and uncertain return on investment.
AM is poised to impact global manufacturing paradigms. Decades of technological advancement have led to a proliferation of new AM use cases. The global AM ecosystem is currently growing at 24% a year and is expected to reach US $35.0 billion by 2024.

Daniel: âIreland only needs one resource. We have brains!â
Twenty years later, Albertaâs economy is at crossroads. Alberta has a highly educated workforce and yet our minds seem to be valued less than the provinceâs energy resources. Finance Minister Travis Toews stated during the 2021 budget announcements, âSome suggest diversifying the economy requires a transition from our traditional sectors such as energy. Let me be clear, Mr. Speaker. That is not this governmentâs position.â
Alberta is falling behind while much of the world transitions to a technological and carbon-free future. Iron and Earth, a not-for-profit established by petroleum industry workers, calls for a green recovery and actively promotes the retraining of fossil fuel workers for careers in solar and wind energy. Environmental Defence Canadaâs âSteady Pathâ report makes a case for winding down Albertaâs fossil fuel industry in a controlled manner over the next
