Oakville MP John Oliver announced the grant Mon- day, Nov. 5 in a presentation at the local institution. He noted Canada's col- leges play an important role in research and inno- vation across the country, which is why the Liberal government is investing money to connect the Sher- idan with local businesses and focus the college's problem-solving skills on helping these local compa- nies enhance their prod- ucts and processes. Besides supporting for- ward-thinking projects, the initiative is also expected to help provide local students with training opportunities and jobs while growing lo- cal and regional economies. One project will focus on exploring the health and well-being benefits of using virtual reality with adults living in long-term care communities while anoth- er will look at mobilizing social innovation to train the next generation of thea- tre entrepreneurs. Another project will see the renewal of Sheridan's Screen Industries Research Centre-Technology Access Centre.
