Kristy Duncan longside MP Sonia Sidhu
announces funding for Sheridan College
Brampton: Collaborations
between college researchers
and businesses
help our national and local
economies thrive and prepare
young Canadians for
the jobs of the future. Canada’s
colleges are at the heart
of communities across the
country and fuel research
that helps businesses innovate
and grow.
The Honourable Kirsty
Duncan, Minister of Science
and Sport – alongside Sonia
Sidhu, the Member of Parliament
for Brampton South –
announced nearly $150,000 in
funding to support research
at Sheridan College. This
funding is part of a $57-million
investment through the
College and Community Innovation
Program (CCI) that
Minister Duncan announced
on June 13, 2019.
The grant for Sheridan
College will allow researchers
at the Screen Industries
Research and Training Centre
to buy the equipment they
need to develop interactive
computer-generated 3D characters.
These animated characters
can be used in a range
of industries, from films and
gaming, to healthcare and
wellness to create new products
and services that will
benefit all Canadians.
This investment is part
of Canada’s Science Vision
and the Government of Canada’s
historic commitment
of more than $10 billion to
science and research. It includes
the largest ever boost
for college research funding.
Minister Duncan also
signed the Dimensions Charter
at Sheridan College. Institutions
that endorse the
charter commit to embed the
principles of equity, diversity
and inclusiveness in their
policies, practices, action
plans and culture.
“Our government is committed to returning science and research to their rightful place.
That’s why we’re investing in students and small-to medium-sized businesses so they can work
together to make discoveries and continue innovating to improve the quality of life of all Canadians.
These collaborations will boost economic development and create jobs across the country.”
~ The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport
“I am proud to be part of a Government which is so dedicated to science and research. The
investment being celebrated today will not only enhance Canada’s world-class research capacity,
but will also help businesses innovate to create growth, and help colleges train the next generation
of researchers and entrepreneurs. I am particularly delighted that Brampton South’s own
Sheridan College is benefitting as well, and I can wait to see the developments they make.”
~ Sonia Sidhu, Member of Parliament for Brampton South
“NSERC values the tremendous contributions of Canada’s colleges in the research and innovation
ecosystem. Today’s investment will enhance our country’s world-class research capacity,
help businesses innovate to create growth, and train our next generation of researchers and
entrepreneurs.”
~ Dr. Marc Fortin, Vice-President, Research Partnerships, Natural Sciences and Engineering
Research Council of Canada
