Since 1997, the Canada Foundation for Innovation has invested in infrastructure that researchers need to think big, innovate and push the boundaries of knowledge. State-of-the-art research facilities and equipment increase the capability of Canada’s universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research organizations to carry out high-quality research. This, in turn, helps them to attract and retain the world’s top talent, train the next generation of researchers and support world-class research that strengthens the economy and improves the quality of life for all Canadians.

The University of Waterloo’s Suzanne Kearns is a global leader in sustainable aviation, but her flight path wasn’t without turbulence.Suzanne Kearns grew up in Wiarton, Ont., where she would lie in the grass and watch airplanes from the local airport take flight overhead. Her dreams of flying led to a fixed-wing licence at 16 and helicopter licence a year later. At 24, she was a full-time university lecturer on aviation. Today, as the founder of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics, she is helping curb the environmental impacts of flight and inspiring the next generation of aviation professionals in the process.Want to know more?* Suzanne Kearns biography (https://uwaterloo.ca/sustainable-aeronautics/profiles/suzanne-kearns) from the University of Waterloo.* More about the history, mission and vision (https://uwaterloo.ca/sustainable-aeronautics/about-wisa) of the Waterloo Institute of Sustainable Aeronautics (WISA), its research studies (https://uwaterloo.ca/sustainable-aeronautics/research-and-partnerships/research-studies)and its flight simulator lab.
