What People are Saying

“Polytechnics Canada has done a brilliant job in securing more funding for applied research at the college level, but more needs to be done to put colleges on an even footing with universities. It’s unfair that universities get the lion’s share of research funding although colleges do a much better job at applied research. Colleges are performing better because they are more grounded and closer to industry needs.”

Miles Kennedy, Chairman, HousAll Systems, Ottawa
