The Canadore College Foundation is proud to acknowledge generous funding provided by the RBC Foundation through its Tech for Nature initiative. Over two years, RBC has contributed a total of $200,000 to advance Canadore’s Indigenous Sustainable Food Security and Clean Water Research Initiative.

This initiative addresses critical challenges in rural and Indigenous communities, focusing on sustainable solutions for food security and clean water access. By leveraging off-grid technologies, climate-resilient facilities, and educational programs tailored to First Nations’ needs and values, the initiative is creating year-round systems for food productions and clean water that reflect Indigenous led approaches and priorities.

With RBC’s ongoing support, Canadore has been able to enhance research capabilities, expand community partnerships, and scale its impact to serve more regions. This collaboration underscores the vital role of innovative partnerships in driving meaningful change for communities in need. We thank the RBC Foundation for their continued commitment to sustainability and support of initiatives that make a lasting difference.
