We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Oshawa’s Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery played host to community presentations by Ontario Tech University's most recent Research Excellence Award winners.

Dr. Shahram ShahbazPanahi, associate professor, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science delivered a talk entitled New Paradigms in Wireless Communications and was followed by Dr. Igor Pioro, professor, Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science, who discussed Nuclear Power Reactors: Current Status and Future Advancements.

“This annual event profiles and celebrates the innovative and relevant research that happens every day at Ontario Tech University,” said Dr. Michael Owen, associate provost, Research. “The accomplishments of Dr. Pioro and Dr. ShahbazPanahi are substantial and they truly represent the university’s commitment to research with local and global impacts. We are delighted they had this opportunity to share their research with the broader Oshawa and Durham communities."

Ontario Tech University has gained a solid reputation as a research-intensive university by establishing its first spin-off company, filing more than 30 patents in various jurisdictions, receiving five prestigious Canada Research Chairs, with another four in development, and having six industrial research chairs. Ontario Tech University research is focused on five primary research themes, all of which emphasize a multidisciplinary approach: Applied Bioscience; Automotive, Materials and Manufacturing; Community and Social Wellness; Information and Communication; and Sustainable Energy.
