Canada's new lunar utility rover will help astronauts build a future on the Moon Français
LONGUEUIL, QC, July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon is an ambitious endeavour that requires international collaboration. A new generation of rovers with different capabilities will be essential, and partners around the world are working together to develop complementary technologies for the lunar surface. Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, announced the award of three contracts totalling $14.6 million to advance the development of the new Canadian lunar utility rover. This investment marks the beginning of a long-term project that will draw on the skills and determination of experts across the country. Canada's utility rover is set to provide critical assistance to astronauts and support operations, including transporting cargo, performing logistics and construction duties on the Moon. Over the next 18 months, Canadensys Aerospace Corporation, MDA Space and Mission Control will conduct preparatory studies to assess different options for the rover, including potential capacities depending on different sizes and scope. The utility rover builds on decades of past investments in technology development that helped secure Canada's expertise in robotics, including rovers, and position our space sector for future opportunities related to lunar surface mobility. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) aims to develop a utility rover that lives up to both Canada's rich legacy in space and future ambitions for space exploration. These investments bring us closer to having a CSA astronaut live and work on the surface of the Moon. Quotes "Our government is steadfast in its commitment to championing ambitious initiatives that spark innovation and elevate Canada's leadership on the global stage. Through the design and development of this lunar utility rover, Canada will collaborate with international partners to shape the next era of human exploration of the Moon. Ultimately, the advancement of the lunar utility rover has the potential to open doors for Canadian businesses to expand and compete internationally and is expected to create and maintain 200 well-paying jobs over the next decade in an industrial sector that is amongst the most innovative and R&D intensive." - The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions "Through smart and strategic procurement, our government is supporting cutting-edge technologies that not only honour our legacy in space but also pave the way for a Canadian astronaut to one day live and work on the Moon. Public Services and Procurement Canada is proud to play a key role in delivering the tools and partnerships that make this vision possible while supporting Canadian innovation and our economy." - The Honourable Joël Lightbound, Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement Quick facts Associated links A Canadian utility rover on the Moon Moon exploration Rover fleet RSS Facebook YouTube X

The Confederation Centre Launches New Campaign Centred around Canadian Voices
A bold campaign has launched, with coffee cup sleeves sparking discussion at independent shops across the country, and well-known Canadians lending their voice. CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI, July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - As Canadians increasingly turn to online platforms for news, often filtered through personalized algorithms, the need for spaces that promote diverse, inclusive, and constructive conversations has never been greater. In these unprecedented times, the Confederation Centre, based in Charlottetown, PEI, is growing as a national convening place for important issues, conferences, forums, and programs that allow Canadians to explore and address critical issues of today and tomorrow. To showcase their impact to all Canadians, the Confederation Centre has developed a bold new campaign inspired by "Where Canada Connects" that launched last year. This initiative invites Canadians to come together to shape our future, through dialogue, debate, and shared understanding from the past. "John & Sam had their say. Now have yours, John & Sam" reads one of the campaign posters. It's a challenge, a provocation, and a promise to Canadians; that the Confederation Centre is a destination for all Canadians to have meaningful conversations on important issues. "We've been asking Canadians from across the country to tell us what issues matter most to them," said Steve Bellamy, CEO of Confederation Centre. "This campaign is about bringing people together – in the room or online – to talk about those things, to listen to one another, and to lead the way for making a better Canada." In 1864, thirty-six delegates gathered in Charlottetown to begin the work of building a nation. Today, the Confederation Centre honours that legacy by providing a national convening space for thought-provoking discourse, bringing together voices that weren't at the table 161 years ago to support this country. Coffee cup sleeves will be distributed in independent local cafés from coast to coast to spark discussion, along with digital and print assets in major Canadian media. Wild postings will encourage Canadians to use their voice to continue the conversation the Founders of Canada started along with the goal of raising donations to support the expansion of arts education activities and develop new Canadian work. The campaign also features an esteemed group of national voices helping to elevate its message, including Alan Doyle who is lending his support as a spokesperson for the initiative. The organization has tapped indie agency FUSE Create to launch this national awareness campaign that includes print, OLV, and media – all to showcase how the Confederation Centre supports our country. About Confederation Centre of the Arts Located in historic Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Confederation Centre of the Arts explores the origins and evolution of Canada through world-class art exhibitions, original theatrical productions, and interactive learning experiences. More than a centre of the arts, Confederation Centre is a cultural convenor, a forum for dialogue on where our nation is heading, and a national stage for thriving artistic expression. It's more than a venue. It's where Canada connects.

Alberta's chief electoral officer Gordon McClure, in a news release Monday, said provincial laws require potential referendum questions to respect more than 30 sections of the Constitution, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. McClure's release doesn't specify which, if any, specific sections he's unsure about and a spokesperson for Elections Alberta didn't provide details in response to questions Monday. The potential referendum question was submitted to the electoral officer earlier this month by Mitch Sylvestre, an executive with the Alberta Prosperity Project, a non-profit group that has been touring the province promoting independence.

Sylvestre, who didn't immediately respond to an interview request Monday, has said he thinks interest among Albertans in holding a separation referendum increases with every speaking event his group organizes. 'The more people that hear what the message is, the more people that will be in favour,' he said in an interview last month. The Alberta Prosperity Project said on social media that McClure's decision was a 'delay tactic' and that the group would respond in court if need be. The electoral officer's release says the Court of King's Bench will schedule a proceeding for the matter and that Sylvestre and the provincial justice minister have been notified of his decision to refer the question to a judge. A spokesperson for Elections Alberta said that once the question is assessed in court, McClure will have 30 days to determine if the proposed question meets other legislated requirements. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If his question is approved, Sylvestre and the Alberta Prosperity Project would need to collect 177,000 signatures in four months to put the question of Alberta separation on a ballot. In June, the chief electoral officer approved a competing question that seeks to have Alberta make it official policy that the province will never separate from Canada. That petition, put forward by former Alberta Progressive Conservative deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, was approved before new provincial rules took effect that lowered the threshold for citizen-initiated referendums to get on ballots. Lukaszuk's proposal also differs in that it seeks a referendum on a proposed policy — rather than a potential constitutional referendum like Sylvestre's proposal — and he'll need to collect nearly 300,000 signatures in 90 days. The former deputy premier confirmed Monday that signature collection efforts for his proposed policy referendum were expected to begin in the coming days.
