SUMMERSIDE, PEI, June 28, 2024 /CNW/ – Sous l’effet des changements climatiques, la fréquence et la gravité des feux de forêt augmentent au Canada, ce qui influe sur notre santé, notre économie, nos milieux de vie et la faune. En cette autre saison des feux éprouvante, les gouvernements du Canada et de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard soutiendront leurs citoyens menacés par des feux de forêt tout en renforçant notre capacité à nous adapter aux changements climatiques.

M. Bobby Morrissey, député d’Egmont (Île-du-Prince-Édouard), au nom de l’honorable Jonathan Wilkinson, ministre de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles; et l’honorable Barb Ramsay, ministre du Développement social et des Aînés, au nom de l’honorable Steven Myers, ministre de l’Environnement, de l’Énergie et de l’Action climatique, ont annoncé aujourd’hui un investissement commun de plus de 3 millions de dollars sur quatre ans dans le cadre du Fonds d’équipement du programme Combattre et gérer les feux de forêt dans un climat en changement (CGFFCC). Ce financement aidera la province à accroître son équipement et ses effectifs de lutte contre les feux de forêt, favorisera l’échange de ressources et débloquera les capacités à l’échelle communautaire.

Le financement annoncé aujourd’hui renforcera les capacités et les compétences en matière de gestion des incendies à la grandeur de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard en permettant l’acquisition et la modernisation d’équipement spécialisé de lutte contre les feux de forêt (p. ex. tuyaux et camions), l’acquisition de services contractuels pour l’appui aérien, de même que la création de matériel de formation et de possibilités d’emplois pour les étudiants, les superviseurs et les spécialistes de la météo incendie. Les activités de préparation aux feux et d’intervention du Canada permettront de combattre les feux plus efficacement et de renforcer la sécurité des collectivités et des pompiers.

L’État a pour priorité absolue la santé et la sécurité de la population. En travaillant de concert avec les provinces, les territoires, les communautés autochtones et des alliés d’autres pays, le gouvernement fédéral continue à soutenir la lutte contre les feux de forêt tout en s’attaquant aux effets des changements climatiques, en assurant la sécurité publique et en protégeant les vies, les moyens de subsistance et les maisons.

« En 2023, le Canada a subi la saison des feux la plus grave et la plus dévastatrice de son histoire, et les Canadiens de tout le pays attendent maintenant du gouvernement fédéral qu’il continue à travailler dans l’urgence avec les provinces, les territoires et d’autres partenaires afin de soutenir les collectivités menacées pendant la saison 2024. Comme les prochains mois s’annoncent intensément chauds et secs, le gouvernement fédéral s’emploie d’ores et déjà à répondre aux besoins des Canadiens là où des feux de forêt éclatent. Les fonds annoncés aujourd’hui avec le gouvernement de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard favoriseront l’acquisition d’effectifs et d’équipement de sauvetage. Grâce à un financement notable et rapide du CGFFCC, le gouvernement du Canada aide les pompiers à faire face à la saison des feux en cours et à se préparer à un avenir où l’impact des changements climatiques apparaîtra de plus en plus évident. »

L’honorable Jonathan Wilkinson
Ministre de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles

« Les Canadiens ressentent les effets des changements climatiques, et les feux de forêt qui sévissent avec plus d’intensité sont l’un d’eux. La santé et la sécurité du public sont une priorité majeure pour le gouvernement fédéral. C’est pour cette raison que nous continuerons à apporter le soutien nécessaire afin d’atténuer et de combattre les feux de forêt. Le Fonds d’équipement du programme Combattre et gérer les feux de forêt dans un climat en changement soutiendra les efforts déployés à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard en matière de gestion des incendies pendant cette saison de feux de forêt et celles à venir. »

Bobby Morrissey
Député d’Egmont (Île-du-Prince-Édouard)

« Cette année, les pompiers de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard ont déjà été mis à l’épreuve car ils ont dû lutter contre des feux de forêt. En raison des changements climatiques et des phénomènes météo extrêmes, la région est malheureusement plus exposée aux feux. Heureusement, nous sommes en meilleure posture que jamais pour intervenir grâce aux investissements faits dans la formation et l’équipement et aussi grâce au dévouement de nos pompiers. »

L’honorable Steven Myers
Ministre de l’Environnement, de l’Énergie et de l’Action climatique

Quelques faits 

Les gouvernements du Canada et de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard octroient 1,5 million de dollars par le biais d’un accord de contribution dans le cadre du Fonds d’équipement du programme CGFFCC.Le Fonds d’équipement de CGFFCC a été lancé en 2022 afin de soutenir les provinces et les territoires dans leurs efforts pour renforcer les capacités et les compétences en matière de gestion des feux de forêt au Canada en facilitant l’achat d’équipement spécialisé, afin d’accroître la capacité d’intervention en cas de feux de forêt.Le gouvernement du Canada collabore avec les communautés et les organismes touchés par les feux de forêt afin de mieux comprendre le rôle qu’il doit jouer auprès des communautés pour offrir des équipements reconnus à l’échelle nationale afin que tous les pompiers soient mieux en mesure de combattre les feux de forêt, et pour favoriser une approche plus durable de la formation, de l’emploi et de la gestion de tous les risques dans les communautés autochtones et ailleurs.Dans le cadre du Fonds d’équipement de CGFFCC de RNCan, les provinces et les territoires peuvent faire des investissements à coûts partagés avec le gouvernement du Canada dans de l’équipement de lutte contre les feux de forêt (p. ex. véhicules, unités mobiles, tuyaux, pompes, matériel de communication amélioré, mises à niveau avioniques [pièces]), et dans la réparation d’équipement vieillissant et la formation.

After nearly two years in business, Dr. Ashley Milhizer’s Tempe-based center for naturopathic medicine and aesthetics has experienced the type of growth that rival industry titans. Real Results Medical & Aesthetics – soon to be opening a second location in Scottsdale in early 2025 – has seen an impressive 300% growth since opening their doors in March 2023.

TEMPE, Ariz., Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After nearly two years in business, Dr. Ashley Milhizer’s Tempe-based center for naturopathic medicine and aesthetics has experienced the type of growth that rival industry titans. Real Results Medical & Aesthetics – soon to be opening a second location in Scottsdale in early 2025 – has seen an impressive 300% growth since opening their doors in March 2023.

Aside from patient referrals and cutting-edge technology, Milhizer credits social media as one of the biggest avenues for growth. “Between TikTok and Instagram we’ve amassed over 25,000 followers and that accounts for about 70% of our new business.”

Aside from patient referrals and cutting-edge technology, Milhizer credits social media as one of the biggest avenues for growth. “Between TikTok and Instagram we’ve amassed over 25,000 followers and that accounts for about 70% of our new business,” said Dr. Ashley Milhizer, Founder of Real Results Medical & Aesthetics.

On both platforms, Dr. Milhizer shares educational videos and insights into various medical & aesthetic procedures. Her engaging content not only highlights the quality of care she provides but also educates her audience on the latest trends and treatments in the field.

Originally from Michigan, and a graduate of UC Davis and the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences, it was Dr. Milhizer’s personal experience in seeing how natural remedies can significantly impact the body that inspired her to get into the field.

“While I was in school, a friend of mine was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and was given up to 18 months to live and I became determined to research every kind of remedy that could potentially help,” said Dr. Milhizer. “From a healthy diet, supplements and a host of other naturopathic strategies, we tried everything we could find and two months later he was in remission, and he’s still alive today.”

The power of naturopathic remedies, following an early career path in sports medicine – which enabled her to work with some of the state’s top professional athletes – is what led her to forming Real Results Medical & Aesthetics. The company’s broad depth of services is also what allowed her to expand her reach of clientele beyond athletes to everyone from the Valley’s elite CEOs and stay at home Moms to patients ranging from their early 20s to upper 80s.

The naturopathic services offered at Real Results Medical & Aesthetics include hormone optimization, peptide therapy, IV therapy, natural pain relief, weight loss, food allergy testing and overall diagnostic testing. While the aesthetics side of the business offers services such as hair restoration, skin resurfacing, botox, fillers, microneedling, RF Plasma skin resurfacing, laser treatments, vein removal and body contouring.

ICEYE expands its Earth Observation capabilities with launch of two SAR satellites for mid-inclination orbit on the Bandwagon-2 mission with SpaceX

Mid-inclination orbit provides more SAR-imaging opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe for ICEYE customers.

HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation and persistent monitoring, announced today that it has launched two new satellites to its constellation of SAR satellites. Both satellites expand the availability of ICEYE’s latest imaging technology to deliver additional 25 cm imaging capacity. The satellites were integrated via Exolaunch and launched as part of the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA. Both satellites have established communication, and early routine operations are underway. With today’s launch, ICEYE has successfully launched 40 satellites into orbit since 2018, with nine satellites launched in 2024 alone.

The new SAR satellites were launched into mid-inclination orbits; compared to a polar orbit, these mid-inclination orbits provide more than twice the collection opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe. ICEYE customers have many areas of interest in these middle latitudes (+/- 45 degrees), and these customers will benefit from increased persistence over these regions. Customers with imaging interests outside these middle latitudes will continue to benefit from the frequent revisit enabled by ICEYE’s dozens of satellites in polar orbits. ICEYE’s unique mix of mid-inclination and polar orbits provides its customers with deep revisit capabilities for targets all around the globe. The new satellites will serve ICEYE’s commercial missions as part of the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation owned and operated by ICEYE.

Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE said: “This launch marks another significant milestone in ICEYE’s ability to provide our customers with a rich diversity of collection opportunities. We bolster our industry-leading SAR constellation and expand our customers’ collection opportunities in the areas most important to them.”

Today’s launch is another step forward in ICEYE’s steady drumbeat of innovative breakthroughs in Earth Observation. This year alone, ICEYE has, for example, introduced Dwell Precise, a new 25 cm imaging mode that offers its customers the highest-fidelity 25cm imaging capability, and adds advanced capability to ICEYE’s line of Dwell products; launched an API that allows customers to directly task its SAR satellite constellation; and launched ICEYE Ocean Vision to provide actionable intelligence for maritime domain awareness.

About ICEYE

ICEYE delivers unparalleled persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth, faster and more accurately than ever before.

Owning the world’s largest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation, ICEYE provides objective, near real-time insights, ensuring that customers have unmatched access to actionable high-quality data, day or night, even in challenging environmental conditions. As a trusted partner to governments and commercial industries, ICEYE delivers intelligence in sectors such as insurance, natural catastrophe response and recovery, security, maritime monitoring, and finance, enabling decision-making that contributes to community resilience and sustainable development.
