Philosopher Corey Dyck (Western) kindly shared the following (comments are open for additions to the list):
In case it might be of interest to your readers, I am sending along a list of this year's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) "Insight Grant" recipients. As you likely know, this is the primary source of external funding for the humanities in Canada (covering disciplines in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, but also a variety of other disciplines, such as business). I have gone through the recently published list (available here) and selected out the recipients who I know to belong to Philosophy programs in Canada. I have likely overlooked some (and those concerned would be welcome to add themselves to the list), and I didn't include recipients working in cognate areas (such as law or political science) or those funded projects that might list philosophers among their collaborators. In any case, here's the list, which includes the winner's name, affiliation, project title, and duration and amount of the award:
