Yet, in 2021, Natural Resources Canada identified 46 earthquakes, which registered between 1.8 and 5.3 magnitude and to date, 26 earthquakes have occurred in 2022. Damaging earthquakes are surprisingly common in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone, which encloses the Ottawa Valley from Montreal to Témiscamingue as well as the Laurentians. The question is not if but when a major quake will hit one of Canada’s major urban centres, an event that poses risks to human life and infrastructure.</p> Thu, 23 Jun 2022 13:35:05 +0000 webfull 180682 at /channels /channels/channels/news/acfas-prizes-two-mcgill-professors-335442 <p>Canada’s most prestigious French-language learned society announced the recipients of its research awards today, and two ����ֱ�� professors are among the winners.</p> <p>At its 77th virtual gala ceremony, the non-profit organization <a href="https://www.acfas.ca/acfas/qui-sommes-nous" target="_blank">Acfas</a>, l’Association francophone pour le savoir, awarded ����ֱ�� Professor Michel Biron the Prix André-Laurendeau and Professor Susanne Lajoie the Prix Jeanne-Lapointe.</p> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 22:58:08 +0000 webfull 175429 at /channels /channels/channels/news/six-new-canada-research-chairs-and-three-renewals-mcgill-331542 <p>Today, at l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry announced investments of more than $635 million for science, research, and engineering in Canada.</p> Tue, 15 Jun 2021 14:16:38 +0000 webfull 171147 at /channels
