The Government of Ontario has invested more than $47M in 195 projects related to local research and innovation at universities, colleges, and hospitals. The funding will be used to acquire state-of-the-art equipment and to support building and renovation projects. ON says that these efforts will help to drive economic growth in key areas. “In the face of economic uncertainty, Ontario researchers are bolstering our critical industries with discoveries that cement our province as a global leader,” said ON Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security Nolan Quinn. “This investment … will advance the sectors that drive our economy, create jobs, and save lives.” The announcement was made at Georgian College, which received funding to upgrade its Centre of Industrial Simulation and Prototyping.
