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.

New partnership forged between UOIT and Canadore

December 18, 2013

A new agreement between Canadore College in North Bay, Ontario and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa will allow Canadore students to pursue a range of degree programs at the university.

The partnership designs a seamless process for qualified students from select Canadore diploma programs to apply credits towards six UOIT undergraduate degrees without having to repeat successfully completed courses.

George Burton, President, Canadore College

"This agreement demonstrates UOIT’s commitment to providing students with seamless pathways to degree completion," said UOIT President Tim McTiernan, who is also a past President of Canadore College. "Given my past relationship with Canadore, I am particularly pleased with this agreement. We look forward to ongoing collaboration between our two institutions and to creating new opportunities for our students."

Students from Canadore’s business, health sciences, and community, justice and police studies will be able to take advantage of articulations into undergraduate programs in adult education and digital technology, allied health sciences, biological science, commerce, criminology and justice, and nursing.

"Canadore shares in the commitment to provide all students with seamless pathways. We have a responsibility to make it easier for people to obtain a career-oriented education," said Canadore College President George Burton. "We are facing a drastic national skills mismatch which could leave over 700,000 people unemployable by 2021. Working with UOIT gives students choices to be prepared to meet the needs of the global marketplace."

UOIT and Canadore are committed to providing students with flexible pathways to diploma-to-degree options, and are looking to add more articulations to their agreement in the near future.
