Abstract
Throughout the years there has always been a tension between the classification of Colleges with respect to Universities. In the Ontario College system there is an added complexity with a number of Colleges being named Polytechnic Institutions. At George Brown College we have created a thought leadership agency that is called the Brookfield Sustainability Institute. It is a place where global thinking and research is being applied to help solve climate change and build sustainable communities for the future.
