Who controls this corporation. Federal corporations must file their Individuals with Significant Control with Corporations Canada. That register is not redistributed here — it can only be searched by corporation name or number, by design, so it cannot become a lookup by a person’s name.

Municipal licences (1)

Place	Category	Number	First issued	Status
Toronto	NOISE EXEMPTION	P45-5202730	April 27, 2022	Cancelled

A licence records permission to operate. It is issued by a municipality, not by a corporate registrar, and its presence says the organisation traded at that address on that date — nothing about whether it does today.

Board and officers on record (2)

Name	Position	Serving since	Status
Ana Serrano	DIRECTOR	July 1, 2020	current
Peter Fraser	DIRECTOR	July 31, 2019	current

Filed by the charity itself with the Canada Revenue Agency, under the Open Government Licence. This is the narrowest slate the source publishes — name, position, and tenure only; no address, phone, or email exists in the file to withhold. Why this is published and directors’ home addresses never are.

Paying institution	Awards	Value
National Research Council Canada	14	$2,837,650

Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.

Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

Why this is one record

5 publishers describe this organisation. They were joined into one record because the evidence below agreed — never on a matching name alone.

Shares business number 791704331
asserted by Canada Revenue Agency and Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
Same name and postal code M5T 1W1
asserted by Canada Revenue Agency and Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) and City of Toronto (Municipal Licensing and Standards)
Same name and address — 100 mccaul, toronto, ON
asserted by Canada Revenue Agency and Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) and City of Toronto (Municipal Licensing and Standards)

An automatic merge requires a shared business number, or a matching name AND address — never a name by itself. How resolution works.
