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.

UOIT hosts successful international smart grid conference

September 13, 2013

Participants of the Canadian Workshop on Fusion Energy Science and Technology, held in conjunction with the IEEE's SEGE '13 conference at UOIT, August 28 to 30, 2013.

Leading researchers from around the world convened at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in late August to showcase the latest global research and technologies of smart energy grid engineering.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) international conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE ’13) at UOIT attracted participants and speakers from across Canada as well as Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, India, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, Qatar, the United Kingdom and the United States.

“UOIT was pleased to host this exciting global gathering of academics and industry which was aimed at finding answers to the sustainable energy questions we will face in the years ahead,” said Dr. Hossam Gaber, Professor, Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Engineering, UOIT. “There were representatives from all disciplines of engineering discussing aspects of renewable energy systems – ranging from power generation and fuel sources to energy infrastructure and transportation alternatives.

In addition to a competition for student innovation, SEGE ’13 also featured the first Canadian Workshop on Fusion Energy Science and Technology, co-sponsored by the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) and the Toronto Section of the IEEE. The workshop’s diverse selection of speakers provided encouragement in the pursuit of developing new energy technologies, stressing the importance of presenting strategies in everyday language – to broaden public understanding of issues and increase the probability of political support of new energy-related initiatives.
