We support the full implementation of Hamilton’s BLAST network that will enable our students, our patients, our employees, and our citizens to benefit from improved mobility within our city and a wider variety of transit options. To this end, we urge the City of Hamilton to continue with the implementation of the BLAST transit network. We gratefully acknowledge and value our provincial government’s leadership in funding for the Light Rail Transit B-line and Bus Rapid Transit A-line as key components of the BLAST network. We fully support the staged completion of the BLAST network and the collaboration of all levels of government to complete this project together.

STRATEGIC MANDATE PROPOSAL OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Dear Minister Duguid: Mohawk College supports the Government’s decision to adopt a policy of differentiation to advance the government’s priorities for post-secondary education (PSE). This direction, together with the Differentiation Policy Framework, and a pronounced focus on outcomes reflect the Wynne government’s simultaneous commitment to student success and global competitiveness. Mohawk College’s Strategic Mandate Agreement Proposal is contained in the pages that follow. We believe our proposal builds on Mohawk’s existing strengths while at the same time establishing a new foundation for excellence in academic programming and sustainability in operations. The directions set forth in this document are not new to us. For several years the College has been actively and methodically positioning itself as a leader in PSE innovation while continuing to align with the communities that we serve. Mohawk views this process as an opportunity to accelerate our strategies. Mohawk looks forward to working with the Province in the coming months.
