WHO BENEFITS?

Through the Regional Chair's Classic, more than $6.8 million has been raised to provide assistance to students in financial need at Durham College and the Ontario Tech University and Ontario Shores Foundation for Mental Health.

DURHAM COLLEGE

Together, we’re leading the way at Durham College (DC). With campuses in Oshawa and Whitby, DC offers over 11,400 full-time students access to more than 140 post-secondary programs, including four honours bachelor degrees and nine apprenticeship programs.

DC enables students to develop career-ready skills for the ever-changing job market by providing an exceptional college education. With a focus on experiential learning, led by expert faculty, through field placements, applied research, co-op and other hands-on opportunities, DC grads are known for having the skills and knowledge employers need.

At the Oshawa campus, the Centre for Collaborative Education brings together local, Indigenous and global communities, featuring the Rotary Global Classroom, Durham College Spa and interprofessional simulation and anatomy labs. The campus is also home to four of the college’s applied research centres, including the AI Hub, Centre for Cybersecurity Innovation, Mixed Reality Capture Studio and Social Impact Hub.

At DC’s Whitby campus, the new 60,000 sq. ft. Centre for Skilled Trades and Technology shines a spotlight on industrial skilled trades training, innovation and education, and includes a double-height shop lab, new classrooms and student touchdown spaces, among other features. The campus also features the W. Galen Weston Centre for Food, which is home to the award-winning full-service restaurant, Bistro ’67; a retail store, Pantry; and the Barrett Centre of Innovation in Sustainable Urban Agriculture and its community-inspired urban farm.

DC extends its gratitude to all those involved with the Regional Chair's Classic. The generosity of participants has resulted in much-needed financial assistance for hundreds of students so they can complete their post-secondary education. That means students feel inspired to follow their dreams and confident to succeed as tomorrow’s leaders.

ONTARIO TECH UNIVERSITY

Located in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario Tech University (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) has grown out of a bold ambitious vision to take on the grand challenges we face as a society and find solutions to meet and exceed tomorrow’s needs.

By teaching students new approaches to problem solving and promoting innovative uses of technology, our commitment to scholarship is producing a new type of graduate – a highly engaged citizen leader with an entrepreneurial spirit; someone prepared to excel in the modern workplace, and ready to lead their peers.

Areas of study include:

• Social Science
• Business
• Science
• Humanities
• Education
• Energy Systems and Nuclear Science
• Engineering
• Health Sciences
• Information Technology

Our faculty experts engage with more than 300 industry partners to develop unique programs that incorporate:

• Software that is program-specific and industry-current.
• Practical, hands-on experience in a real-world setting.

More than four out of five graduating students participated in work-integrated learning through opportunities such as co-ops, internships and practicums.

The university houses more than 70 specialized research laboratories and facilities, a testament to our commitment of attracting leading scholars and stimulating their success and our students.

The university wants to grow into an even more innovative mixed-use, vibrant community hub. To reach that goal the university created a Campus Master Plan to develop 190 acres directly north of the campus. This expansion will establish the new classrooms, laboratories and infrastructure required to provide students, professors and researchers with the space they need to build Canada’s competitiveness while creating an exciting and rewarding educational experience.

The generosity of community partners expressed through events such as the Regional Chair's Classic is deeply appreciated by Ontario Tech University’s  students, faculty, staff and Board of Governors. It ensures that more students than ever have the opportunity to realize their potential and graduate prepared to contribute and lead.
