Collège Boréal in Sudbury is hosting a conference on innovation at Ontario’s colleges.

The 45th annual event is hosted by the Ontario Colleges Facility Management and Administrative Services Coordinating Committee under the theme Making Innovation Necessary Every Day. It is expected to draw more than 200 people to Sudbury.

“The responsibility of community colleges is important on many levels as we train a qualified workforce to meet the needs of businesses in our regions, while stimulating research and innovation within these same businesses,” college president Denis Hubert-Dutrisac said in a news release. “The City of Greater Sudbury has proven to be an ideal choice to welcome such an event.”

During the event, the organizations will hold their annual general meetings, present awards and offer guided tours of Sudbury facilities recognized for their innovative aspects.
