Canadian buildings and infrastructure, now more than ever, face risks associated with the potential impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. In response to our new reality, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and Infrastructure Canada have undertaken a ground-breaking project to update building codes, specifications, guidelines and assessment tools to help keep Canadians safe and resilient to our changing environment.
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has a long tradition of working with Canadian athletes to help them achieve their best in international competitive sports, including the Winter and Summer Olympics, and the Paralympics. For 50 years, NRC researchers have worked with athletes from many sports to help them test their equipment and optimize their aerodynamic positions so they are more efficient in their technique, thus making them go faster.
