Niagara College’s Research and Innovation division is partnering with Brock LINC to support emerging entrepreneurs through Blueprint, a product development and prototyping program designed to help participants turn ideas into products and services.<\/p>\n

Through this partnership, three NC Innovation Centres, the Business and Commercialization Innovation Centre<\/a> (BCIC), Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre<\/a> (WAMIC) and the Food and Beverage Innovation Centre<\/a> (FBIC), are providing specialized expertise to help entrepreneurs develop, test and refine their product or service..<\/p>\n

“We’re extremely excited to be working with the current cohort of entrepreneurs enrolled in Brock’s Blueprint program,” said Paula Reile, Associate Director, BCIC. “Working with such a diverse range of projects allows us to be creative and intentional in our approach to branding. It’s incredibly rewarding to help these entrepreneurs bring their visions to life and to build brands that reflect the ideas and products they’re developing.”<\/p>\n

The collaboration between NC and Brock is the result of ongoing efforts to strengthen connections across Niagara’s innovation ecosystem. It began to take shape in 2025, when NC’s Research and Innovation team hosted the Niagara Innovation Ecosystem Showcase<\/a> at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The event brought together organizations from across the region to learn more about each other’s capabilities and identify opportunities to work together.<\/p>\n

“The Innovation Ecosystem Showcase was really the catalyst for this partnership,” said David DiPietro, Manager, Business Development, Research and Innovation. “It brought us together to share our expertise, understand what each organization does and identify where we could fill each other’s gaps by working together.”<\/p>\n

Following the showcase, Brock LINC reached out to explore how NC could support its 17-week Blueprint program, which helps entrepreneurs develop and refine products with support tailored to their needs.<\/p>\n

“The Niagara College Research and Innovation teams are ideally suited to support participants in the Blueprint program,” said Tamara Jensen, Entrepreneurship Program Manager, Brock LINC. “Some of our participants are developing very complex products, so connecting them with the right expertise and vendors is extremely important.”<\/p>\n

NC’s Innovation Centres support an iterative approach, helping participants turn early concepts into prototypes and refine their designs based on feedback from potential customers. For example, WAMIC is supporting the creators of Purvivino, a natural filtration product designed to remove sulphites and histamines from wine without altering its aroma or taste, with the industrial design of its hardware. WAMIC is also working with D-Tail Tools as it prepares to bring its first product, The Goose<\/em>, to market. The multi-use tool is designed to make caulking and sealing easier for tradespeople and DIYers by helping users apply and smooth sealant without repeatedly using their finger. With the product currently prototyped using 3D printing, WAMIC is providing guidance on materials and packaging and connecting D-Tail Tools with injection moulders to help move the product toward manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the FBIC is working with Rise and Shine, eh? to conduct a theoretical feasibility study for the development of a novel functional beverage. The study will assess the technical, regulatory and scalability considerations for the clean-energy product.<\/p>\n

The BCIC is also contributing its expertise, working with all Blueprint participants to develop brand identities and key visual elements, including imagery, colour palettes and typography, that reflect their products and ideas.<\/p>\n

“What started as an opportunity for the BCIC has opened the door for other NC Innovation Centres to participate,” said DiPietro. “Now that we understand how we can contribute and work together with Brock LINC, there are exciting opportunities to support local entrepreneurs and industry partners in new ways.”<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, additional NC Innovation Centres could participate in future Blueprint cohorts, while entrepreneurs may also connect with NC’s Research and Innovation team as their businesses grow.<\/p>\n

This collaboration is one example of how Niagara’s innovation ecosystem can connect entrepreneurs with specialized expertise and resources at different stages of development. NC, Brock University and Innovate Niagara have also collaborated on an industry mapping tool<\/a> to help organizations identify partners and resources that best fit their needs at any given stage of their journey.<\/p>\n

Research and Innovation looks forward to supporting additional entrepreneurs across Niagara through the Blueprint partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

healthcare in the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At the Welland Campus, partner organizations, government officials, donors, students, and alumni gathered to sign a structural timber beam that will become part of the building itself, a symbolic gesture representing their collective investment in the people who will help meet Niagara’s future healthcare needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>“As the timber beams go up and we see the shape and scale of Niagara College’s new Health Education Building emerge, we’re seeing what’s possible when a community comes together around a shared priority,” said President Sean Kennedy. “Each beam represents a shared investment in our students and the future of healthcare in Niagara.

interactive events that brought together students, community partners and professionals supporting adults with developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>As part of their Leisure Education course, 47 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/communityservices\/program\/recreation-therapy\/\">Recreation Therapy<\/a> students worked in teams to design and facilitate educational activities tailored to the needs and interests of their audiences. The culminating projects were showcased at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus gym on November 2 and at Bethesda’s annual staff conference at Club Roma on November 3.<\/p>\n<p>Each event featured interactive activity stations where participants could take part in games, explore leisure education concepts and discover practical strategies to support meaningful participation in recreation and leisure.<\/p>\n<p>Erin Wilkie, Recreation Therapy Professor and Program Coordinator, emphasized the importance of creating meaningful learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>“My focus is always on creating meaningful learning opportunities for students while finding ways to give back to our community,” said Wilkie. “Through two unique events, Recreation Therapy students and first-year CICE students in Leisure Education had the opportunity to bring learning to life through engaging, interactive activities.”<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2

style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Building connections through cross-program collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the Daniel J. Patterson Campus, Recreation Therapy students collaborated with students from NC’s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/liberal\/program\/cice\/\">Community Integration through Co-operative Education (CICE) program<\/a>, creating opportunities for students at different stages of their learning to share knowledge, develop skills and build confidence.<\/p>\n<p>The activities explored topics such as setting Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) goals, developing friendship skills, discovering new leisure interests and connecting with community recreation resources. Through games, hands-on activities and educational resources, students shared practical strategies to help participants explore the benefits of recreation and leisure in their everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p>First-term CICE students also had the opportunity to showcase their learning by designing and facilitating an adapted UNO activity for their third-term peers. The activity encouraged inclusion and accessibility while providing newer students with a unique opportunity to share their knowledge, build confidence and take on a teaching role with students further along in the program.<\/p>\n<p>Kellie Kirkwood, CICE Learning Facilitator, shared how the experience helped students step outside their comfort zones.<\/p>\n<p>“From the CICE students’ perspective, participating in the adapted UNO activity was initially a little intimidating, as some students felt shy and hesitant to get involved,” said Kirkwood. “However, as the activity progressed, they had the opportunity to build confidence, work collaboratively with the Recreation Therapy and Leisure Education students, and recognize the value of creating an inclusive activity.”<\/p>\n<p>For Kirkwood, the experience demonstrated the broader benefits of collaboration between programs.<\/p>\n<p>“These collaborations are about more than completing an activity or project,” she said. “They are about creating opportunities for students to experience success, build relationships, discover their strengths, and develop the confidence to participate more fully in their academic, personal, and future professional lives.”<\/p>\n<p>Wilkie also highlighted the opportunity for knowledge exchange between first-year and third-term CICE students.<\/p>\n<p>“Seeing the students share their knowledge and the confidence this inspired in newer learners was especially rewarding,” said Wilkie. “These are the kinds of experiences that make community-engaged learning so valuable.”<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_1703480\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1703480\" class=\"wp-image-1703480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"603\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new.webp 677w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new-300x244.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new-443x360.webp 443w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new-277x225.webp 277w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new-166x135.webp 166w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4938-new-665x540.webp 665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1703480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recreation Therapy students showcased their interactive leisure education activities at Bethesda’s annual staff conference at Club Roma on November 3.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><strong>Strengthening community connections with Bethesda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following day, Recreation Therapy students brought their projects to Bethesda’s annual staff conference at Club Roma, sharing their knowledge and creative approaches to leisure education with frontline professionals who support adults with developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The event marked the second consecutive year that NC Recreation Therapy students participated in the conference, building on a longstanding partnership between Bethesda and the College’s School of Community Studies.<\/p>\n<p>Sandie Narsansky, Manager, Adult Services at Bethesda, highlighted the mutual benefits of the collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>“This collaboration creates a meaningful learning experience for everyone involved,” said Narsansky. “Students have the opportunity to apply their learning in a real-world setting and gain a deeper understanding of how recreation and leisure can be adapted to meet the diverse strengths and abilities of adults with developmental disabilities. At the same time, our staff gain fresh ideas, new perspectives, and practical strategies they can bring back to the people they support.”<\/p>\n<p>For students, the conference also provided an opportunity to engage directly with professionals in the field, adapt their activities based on participant feedback and gain confidence in facilitating inclusive leisure experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Wilkie reflected on the positive response from Bethesda staff and the impact it had on students.<\/p>\n<p>“It is wonderful to see Bethesda staff engaging with new ideas and approaches while offering students such positive, encouraging feedback on their projects,” said Wilkie. “Watching students’ faces light up as staff shared their enthusiasm and appreciation was a highlight for me.”<\/p>\n<p>For Narsansky, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to expanding opportunities for meaningful recreation and connection.<\/p>\n<p>“Partnerships like this help inspire our teams to think creatively and expand opportunities for the people we support to participate in activities that bring them joy, connection, and a sense of belonging.”<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":53,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.niagaracollege.ca\\\/insidenc\\\/2026\\\/11\\\/09\\\/recreation-therapy-students-bring-leisure-education-to-life-through-collaboration-with-cice-and-bethesda\\\/\"}' id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-1703459 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952.webp 413w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952-270x360.webp 270w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952-169x225.webp 169w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952-101x135.webp 101w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4952-405x540.webp 405w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941.webp 413w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941-270x360.webp 270w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941-169x225.webp 169w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941-101x135.webp 101w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_4941-405x540.webp 405w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Through both events, students gained valuable hands-on experience while strengthening connections across programs and with community partners, demonstrating how learning beyond the classroom can create meaningful opportunities for students and the communities they serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NC Recreation Therapy students put their learning into practice through two interactive events that brought together students, community partners and professionals supporting adults with developmental disabilities.
