NORTH BAY – With actions speaking louder than words, Canadore College is definitely being seen as a tool for economic development in Northern Ontario.
On behalf of FedNor, on Thursday MP Jay Aspin announced a $1 million grant to the college to build a manufacturing research centre at the Commerce Court campus, opening next fall.
Dubbed ICAMP, the centre will “create an innovation centre in the Commerce Court Campus, which will support prototyping, advanced manufacturing and production. The goal of the Innovation Centre is to facilitate the transition of industry innovation into the realm of manufacturing and production,” according to a press release.
The centre will be accessible to local businesses to develop manufacturing strategies, materials, engineering and processes with technology that otherwise would not be available locally said Canadore president George Burton.
“From a business perspective ICAMP is a high yield, high potential and low risk approach to product and business development, business retention and expansion,” said Burton.
Specific capabilities at the centre include rapid prototyping, 3D simulation, reverse engineering, process automation, and advanced material fabrication and production.
The investment from FedNor is the latest in a string that amounts to more than $3 million over the last year alone, noted Mayor Al McDonald, who emceed the event during the special North Bay Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours trade show at Canadore’s Aviation Campus at the North Bay Airport.
“Canadore College plays a significant role in our community,” said Aspin. “In fact it has an estimated $68 million dollar impact on the North Bay and region economy. Our federal government is focused on investing in initiatives that build on regional strengths.”
“This innovation centre will help small- and medium-sized enterprises,” said Aspin. “It will help improve their capabilities, competitiveness, sustainability and in turn the economic growth and prosperity of our region.”
