Eleven colleges in Ontario have come together to form the Ontario Regional Economic Workforce and Innovation Network (OREWIN), a college network devoted to protecting Ontario’s economic future. OREWIN will be chaired by Canadore College President George Burton and will include Cambrian College, Canadore, Collège Boréal, Collège La Cité, Confederation College, Fleming College, Lambton College, Loyalist College, Northern College, Sault College, and St Lawrence College. “A lot of us wanted to make sure that the unique voice and the unique offerings that we give to our regions are heard,” said Loyalist President Mark Kirkpatrick. “Sometimes the voice of the larger colleges in the big metropolitan areas can outpower a voice in some place like Belleville.”
