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.

FedDev Ontario invests in UOIT research and industry collaborations

November 22, 2012

After successful completion of 13 research projects funded by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) under the agency's Applied Research and Commercialization Initiative (ARC), the University of Ontario Institute of Technology is pleased to announce it has recently received $639,000 to fund new projects. UOIT researchers will collaborate with 11 southern Ontario companies to bring new products to the marketplace sooner.

Through these projects, which will be completed by March 21, 2013, UOIT researchers from the faculties of Business and Information Technology; Energy Systems and Nuclear Science; Engineering and Applied Science; and Science will work with industry partners on innovative projects while providing UOIT students at both the undergraduate and graduate level with valuable hands-on experience and industry connections.

In 2011, under the ARC initiative, UOIT was awarded $739,000 from FedDev Ontario to partner with small- and medium-sized businesses on activities such as applied research, engineering design, technology development, product testing, and certification.

More details about the ARC initiative are available on the FedDev Ontario website.
