High-Density Residential Compost Pilot
No full textA compost program had not been attempted inside Fanshawe residences before, but composting is well-established across campus. This project aimed to utilize the already available compost collection plan in campus to test out the possibility of extending it inside Fanshawe Residences.
Funded by the City of London and Fanshawe College, Fanshawe Sustainability along with Fanshawe Residence implemented and monitored compost collection in three student residential towers for a period of 6 weeks.
This pilot study analysed barriers and facilitators that come while implementing a compost program inside dense residential complexes. The final results of this study were used to aid the City of London in designing a successful organic waste collection program inside high-density residential complexes in London, Ontario
National Travel Survey, 2023: Person file [Canada]
No full textThe National Travel Survey (NTS) was developed to fully replace the Travel Survey of Residents of Canada (TSRC record number 3810) and replace the Canadian resident component of the International Travel Survey (ITS record number 3152). The National Travel Survey collects information about the domestic and international travel of Canadian residents.
The National Travel Survey provides statistics on the activities of Canadian residents related to domestic and international tourism. It was developed to measure the volume, the characteristics and the economic impact of tourism. For the Canadian System of National Accounts, NTS measures the size of domestic travel in Canada from the demand side.
The person file provides information on travellers and non-travellers, a traveller being a person aged 18 and over who took at least one trip ending in the reference month and a non-traveller being someone who did not take a trip ending in the reference month. Each respondent to the NTS has one record on the person file whether they have travelled within the reference period or not. The person microdata file includes basic socio-demographic information on both travellers and non-travellers. It can be used to produce simple socio-demographic profiles and to calculate travel incidences. For example, what is the age or gender of travellers versus non-travellers? What percentage of the population 55 years of age and over travelled? The person microdata file does not provide information on the volume of trips or person-trips taken but rather on the volume of travellers and non-travellers. If a person travelled more than once during the reference period, that person will be counted as a traveller only once. </p

Black Women Entrepreneurs in Atlantic Canada: Their Journeys, Challenges, And Experiences | Les femmes noires chefs d'entreprise au canada atlantique: leurs parcours, leurs défis et leurs expériences
No full textExecutive Summary
Black women are an essential pillar of Canada's entrepreneurial ecosystem, bringing significant diversity and energy to the business landscape. However, Atlantic Canada remains underrepresented in research on Black entrepreneurship, with participation rates notably lower than the over 20% documented in comparable studies conducted in provinces such as Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec. The prevailing focus on larger, more established regions often obscures the distinct experiences and challenges faced by Black entrepreneurs in smaller or emerging markets. This Report provides an in-depth examination of the entrepreneurial journeys, obstacles, and lived realities of Black women entrepreneurs in Atlantic Canada, shedding light on an often-overlooked segment of the business community.
This Report focuses on uncovering their demographic characteristics, the nature and scope of their businesses, and the driving forces behind their entrepreneurial pursuits. The Report specifically sheds light on the achievements they have realized and the obstacles they have faced in navigating the entrepreneurial landscape, from startup to business growth. The Report was purposely focused on two provinces: Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A total of 56 participants
who were Black women entrepreneurs participated in the survey. Drawing from quantitative survey data and rich qualitative discussion insights, the Report findings reveal a compelling narrative of resilience, innovation, and systemic inequities that shape their entrepreneurial experiences. These findings therefore have important implications for addressing the needs of Black female entrepreneurs in Atlantic Canada, and for future research of this kind.
Through this research, we found that the motivations for starting businesses among Black women entrepreneurs are deeply tied to personal aspirations. A significant majority cited fulfilling lifelong passions (89%) and addressing community unmet needs (85%) as primary drivers. However, their ambitions are often met with structural challenges, including limited access to capital, inadequate support systems, and systemic racism. These barriers, compounded by gender, social and cultural biases, significantly hinder their ability to scale and sustain their businesses.
Critical resource gaps emerged as a recurring theme. Most entrepreneurs reported a need marketing and sales skills and funding. While family and community support systems played a vital role in the early stages of their businesses, the absence of institutional resources, such as mentorship was a significant impediment. Additionally, low levels of adoption of digital tools, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and project management platforms, highlighted a need for targeted training and support to enhance operational efficiency.
Despite these challenges, the Report underscores the resilience and adaptability of Black women entrepreneurs. Many have successfully navigated systemic barriers through strategic networking, innovative business models, and culturally relevant solutions. The Report
recommends several high-impact actions to address these challenges, including developing specialized funding programs tailored to Black women entrepreneurs, fostering financial literacy,
and creating inclusive business hubs with access to essential resources. Additionally, initiatives such as regional summits, mentorship networks, and culturally sensitive training programs can provide the necessary support to overcome systemic barriers and drive long-term sustainability.
Black women entrepreneurs in Atlantic Canada represent a critical yet underserved segment of the business community. Empowering these women through targeted, culturally relevant interventions is not only an ethical imperative but also a strategic investment in regional
economic growth and innovation. This report calls on stakeholders, including policymakers, investors, and support organizations, to take bold and transformative actions to create an equitable and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Résumé
Les femmes noires sont un pilier essentiel de l'écosystème entrepreneurial du Canada, apportant une diversité et une énergie significatives au paysage des affaires. Cependant, le Canada atlantique reste sousreprésenté dans les recherches sur l'entrepreneuriat noir, avec des taux de participation nettement inférieurs aux plus de 20 % documentés dans des études comparables menées dans des provinces telles que l'Ontario,
l'Alberta et le Québec. L'accent mis sur les régions plus grandes et mieux établies occulte souvent les expériences et les défis distincts auxquels sont confrontés les entrepreneurs noirs dans les marchés plus petits ou émergents. Ce rapport propose un examen approfondi des parcours entrepreneuriaux, des obstacles et des réalités vécues par les entrepreneuses noires du Canada atlantique, mettant ainsi en lumière un segment souvent négligé de la communauté des affaires.
Ce rapport s'attache à découvrir leurs caractéristiques démographiques, la nature et l'étendue de leurs activités, ainsi que les forces motrices qui les poussent à entreprendre. Le rapport met particulièrement en lumière les réalisations qu'elles ont accomplies et les obstacles auxquels elles ont été confrontées en naviguant dans le paysage entrepreneurial, de la création à la croissance de l'entreprise. Le rapport s'est concentré à dessein sur deux provinces: La Nouvelle-Écosse et le Nouveau-Brunswick. Au total, 56 femmes
noires entrepreneurs ont participé à l'enquête. S'appuyant sur les données quantitatives de l'enquête et sur de riches discussions qualitatives, les conclusions du rapport révèlent un récit convaincant de résilience, d'innovation et d'inégalités systémiques qui façonnent l'expérience entrepreneuriale des femmes. Ces résultats ont donc d'importantes implications pour répondre aux besoins des entrepreneuses noires du Canada atlantique et pour les futures recherches de ce type.
Cette recherche nous a permis de constater que les motivations qui poussent les femmes noires entrepreneurs à créer une entreprise sont profondément liées à leurs aspirations personnelles. Une grande majorité d'entre elles ont cité l'accomplissement des passions de toute une vie (89 %) et la satisfaction des besoins non satisfaits de la communauté (85 %) comme principaux moteurs. Toutefois, leurs ambitions se heurtent souvent à des difficultés structurelles, notamment un accès limité au capital, des systèmes de soutien
inadéquats et un racisme systémique. Ces obstacles, auxquels s'ajoutent des préjugés sexistes, sociaux et culturels, entravent considérablement leur capacité à développer et à pérenniser leurs entreprises.
Le manque de ressources critiques est un thème récurrent. La plupart des entrepreneurs ont fait état d'un besoin de compétences en matière de marketing et de vente, ainsi que de financement. Alors que les systèmes de soutien familial et communautaire ont joué un rôle essentiel dans les premières étapes de leur entreprise, l'absence de ressources institutionnelles, telles que le mentorat, a constitué un obstacle important. En outre, les faibles niveaux d'adoption des outils numériques, tels que les plateformes de gestion de la relation client (CRM) et de gestion de projet, ont mis en évidence la nécessité d'une formation et d'un soutien ciblés afin d'améliorer l'efficacité opérationnelle.
Malgré ces défis, le rapport souligne la résilience et la capacité d'adaptation des femmes noires chefs d'entreprise. Nombre d'entre elles ont réussi à surmonter les obstacles systémiques grâce à des réseaux stratégiques, des modèles d'entreprise innovants et des solutions adaptées à leur culture. Le rapport recommande plusieurs actions à fort impact pour relever ces défis, notamment le développement de programmes de financement spécialisés adaptés aux femmes noires chefs d'entreprise, la promotion de l'éducation financière et la création de centres d'affaires inclusifs donnant accès aux ressources essentielles. En outre, des initiatives telles que les sommets régionaux, les réseaux de mentorat et les programmes de
formation adaptés à la culture peuvent apporter le soutien nécessaire pour surmonter les obstacles systémiques et assurer la viabilité à long terme.
Les femmes noires chefs d'entreprise du Canada atlantique représentent un segment essentiel mais mal desservi de la communauté des affaires. L'autonomisation de ces femmes par le biais d'interventions ciblées et culturellement pertinentes n'est pas seulement un impératif éthique, mais aussi un investissement
stratégique dans la croissance économique et l'innovation régionales. Ce rapport appelle les parties prenantes, y compris les décideurs politiques, les investisseurs et les organisations de soutien, à prendre des mesures audacieuses et transformatrices pour créer un écosystème entrepreneurial équitable et prospère
