The Earth District—a consortium of postsecondary institutions including Centennial College, Fleming College, Ontario Tech University, Trent University, and the University of Toronto Scarborough—has signed a memorandum of understanding with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). This agreement will foster collaboration opportunities such as guest lectures from TRCA experts, joint research, sustainability-focused projects, and cooperation regarding student internships and experiential learning opportunities. The partners will also use TRCA or Earth District member sites for activities such as research or programming. “Together, Earth District and the TRCA will go well beyond the teaching of sustainability — to living it, building it, and, ultimately, making it a central pillar of the communities we call home,” said Centennial President Dr Craig Stephenson.
