Collège Boréal secures new funds to support research in Northern Ontario
Funding provided by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) through the Mobilize grant program and the College and Community Innovation program will allow Collège Boréal to pursue its research endeavours in social innovation and to support industry and community needs.
Tiny Homes as an affordable housing solution in Northern Ontario
A new collaboration between Collège Boréal, the City of Greater Sudbury, and Tiny Town Association aims to study the feasibility of tiny homes as a housing option in Northern Ontario.
This 3-year applied research project will help design and build a tiny home prototype and evaluate its effectiveness as a sustainable, affordable, and eco-responsible housing option in Northern Ontario. The knowledge developed throughout the project will be published as a best practice guide for municipalities or organisations interested in exploring tiny home living within their communities
Collège Boréal acquires 1M in funding to support research initiatives
This long-term funding will support college-wide research projects focused on the needs of the college’s partners for the next 5 years.
Collège Boréal has established applied research strengths in agriculture, aquaculture, forestry, biodiversity, welding, and electronics prototyping, as well as in multidisciplinary social innovation including early-childhood education, immigration and interdisciplinary francophone health services. These projects represent significant collaborations with both industry and community partners as the college continues to expand its research activities to meet their needs. Applied research activities represent an important avenue for skills development and will help these industries meet their pressing workforce needs.
