This vision defines a path that will see the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ become a global intellectual hub located in Canada’s most enterprising city. In this spirited, high-quality learning environment graduate students will thrive in programs made rich by research and hands-on experiences. The ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2016 and by then, we will be one of Canada’s top five research universities, fully engaging the communities we both serve and lead.
