Canada’s 2019 federal budget, unveiled March 19, also included substantial funding for TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre, which was co-founded by UVic 50 years
ago and continues to be a substantial nexus for UVic-led research.
Researcher Art Olin is part of an international collaboration investigating the secrets of antimatter – an elusive substance that may hold answers to unsolved problems in physics
and related to the formation of the universe.
The UVic-led Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) at TRIUMF, Canada’s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, received $8.7 million from the BC Knowledge
Development Fund in October. ARIEL expansion will lead to advances in medical imaging for diseases such as cancer, new technologies and materials for industry, and fresh insights into the
fundamental nature of matter.
The BC government has invested $8.7 million in a UVic-led, national initiative to bolster Canada’s world-class rare isotope capabilities. The contribution from the BC Knowledge
Development Fund supports TRIUMF’s Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory, a two-phase multidisciplinary research facility that will advance our fundamental understanding of the world in which we
live.
