Description (French)
Le Consortium de la baie d’Hudson (CBH) encourage et facilite la communication, la coopération et la collaboration intergouvernementales et interculturelles dans la recherche de connaissances et de moyens pour protéger, améliorer et gérer le grand écosystème de la baie d’Hudson et de la baie James pour le plus grand bénéfice des personnes, de la flore et de la faune qui y vivent. Le CBH facilite le partage actif et continu des connaissances et le renforcement des capacités entre les représentants communautaires et régionaux, les gouvernements et les organisations par le biais de réunions régulières, de groupes de travail et de nouveaux outils et services en ligne, afin de soutenir les efforts régionaux en matière de planification, de coordination et d’intendance. Le CBH facilitera le processus de transition, depuis les activités de démarrage à la mise en œuvre des priorités, des opérations et de la planification stratégique, ce qui inclut la tenue de tables rondes régionales tous les deux ans et d’un deuxième sommet de la baie d’Hudson en 2022 dans le but d’orienter les travaux des groupes de travail, du comité directeur et du secrétariat.

Program Name (French)
Programme d’application des connaissances polaires
Program Purpose
This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
Program Purpose (French)
Ce programme vise à guider la mise en pratique des sciences et de la technologie polaires. POLAIRE analysera et diffusera le savoir polaire obtenu par l’entremise de son programme de sciences et de technologie ainsi que des intervenants fédéraux, territoriaux et autres et elle réalisera des investissements afin d’orienter la gestion, les programmes et les politiques; elle fera la promotion des sciences et de la technologie arctiques à l’échelle nationale et internationale; et elle renforcera les capacités grâce à des possibilités de formation, de diffusion et d’apprentissage. Ainsi, l’accent sera mis sur le savoir polaire qui est utile aux intervenants et aux collectivités autochtones, et qui développe une culture scientifique au Canada qui intègre le savoir local et autochtone.
