Strategic collaboration agreement signed as inaugural class of Defence Systems Engineering Technology students begin at College this fall.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On September 4, Niagara College took a step towards becoming a national hub for defence and public-safety technology, partnering with the Canadian Emergency Responders Robotics Association<\/a> (CERRA), a national organization representing emergency responders and advancing the use and integration of robotics and emerging technologies spanning air, ground and water.<\/p>\n

The strategic partnership signed by Niagara College and CERRA will create a Canada-wide platform connecting education, applied research, technology developers, and operational end users in the rapidly evolving defence, public-safety, robotics, and autonomous-systems sectors.<\/p>\n

“Niagara College is pleased to partner with the Canadian Emergency Responders Robotics Association as the College strengthens its emerging role in Canada’s defence and public-safety ecosystem,” said Niagara College President Sean Kennedy. “CERRA’s network of emergency responders brings valuable real-world experience with drone technology, creating meaningful opportunities to connect operational expertise with education, applied research and workforce development to help drive innovation.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The signing of a Strategic Collaboration Agreement between NC and CERRA comes ahead of the launch of the College’s new Defence Systems Engineering Technology<\/a>\u00a0programs this fall, when they welcome the inaugural class. More than 40 students will train to become drone developers, reflecting strong demand for the program that is a direct response to government priorities and labour market needs.<\/p>\n

CERRA represents over 700 members from Canada’s emergency response community, advancing the safe, effective and coordinated integration of robotics, autonomous systems, sensors and other emerging technologies across air, ground and water operations. Working across government, defence, industry, academia and research, CERRA connects these groups with emergency response end users to identify capability gaps, evaluate emerging technologies, and develop the training, standards and operational practices needed to bring new capabilities into the field.\"\"<\/p>\n

At the signing, CERRA Co-Chairs Andy Olesen and Erik Blouin were joined by CERRA Directors Jeffrey Inch, Dave Beatty, and Colin Giles, as well as Member of Parliament for Niagara South Fred Davies.<\/p>\n

“Technology and operational capabilities are evolving rapidly across air, ground and water robotics,” said Andy Olesen, Co-Chair, CERRA. “It is important that we have the ability to keep pace with that momentum, understand where these technologies can provide real value in emergency response operations, and help Canadian technology developers move promising capabilities toward real-world applications. This partnership with Niagara College gives us an opportunity to bring emergency response end users together with researchers, educators, technology developers and government. By creating that connection, we can identify emerging technology pathways, evaluate new capabilities against real operational requirements, and help Canadian-developed technologies move from concept and research into meaningful operational capability.”<\/p>\n

members of the Niagara College team with the Canadian Emergency Responders Robotics Association (CERRA) leadership team in the College's Defence Systems Engineering Technology labs at the Welland Campus.\t\t<\/figcaption>\r\n\t\r\n\t<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\t\r\n \n\n\n<p>The signing of a Strategic Collaboration Agreement between NC and CERRA comes ahead of the launch of the College's new <a href=\"http:\/\/niagaracollege.ca\/technology\/program\/defence-systems-engineering-technology\/\">Defence Systems Engineering Technology<\/a> programs this fall, when they welcome the inaugural class. More than 40 students will train to become drone developers, reflecting strong demand for the program that is a direct response to government priorities and labour market needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CERRA represents over 700 members from Canada's emergency response community, advancing the safe, effective and coordinated integration of robotics, autonomous systems, sensors and other emerging technologies across air, ground and water operations. Working across government, defence, industry, academia and research, CERRA connects these groups with emergency response end users to identify capability gaps, evaluate emerging technologies, and develop the training, standards and operational practices needed to bring new capabilities into the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the signing, CERRA Co-Chairs Andy Olesen and Erik Blouin were joined by CERRA Directors Jeffrey Inch, Dave Beatty, and Colin Giles, as well as Member of Parliament for Niagara South Fred Davies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Technology and operational capabilities are evolving rapidly across air, ground and water robotics,\" said Andy Olesen, Co-Chair, CERRA. \"It is important that we have the ability to keep pace with that momentum, understand where these technologies can provide real value in emergency response operations, and help Canadian technology developers move promising capabilities toward real-world applications. This partnership with Niagara College gives us an opportunity to bring emergency response end users together with researchers, educators, technology developers and government. By creating that connection, we can identify emerging technology pathways, evaluate new capabilities against real operational requirements, and help Canadian-developed technologies move from concept and research into meaningful operational capability.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Niagara College's Defence Systems Engineering Technology programs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/technology\/program\/defence-systems-engineering-technology\/\">Defence Systems Engineering Technology<\/a> (three-year) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/technology\/program\/defence-systems-engineering-technician\/\">Defence Systems Engineering Technician<\/a> (two-year) programs offer experiential learning in mechatronic and photonic (optic\/laser) systems for the development of real-world aerial, terrestrial and marine drones. As Canada strengthens its defence readiness and technological innovation, the programs will give students experience building drones, instrument payloads, and autonomous systems, preparing them for sought-after careers in defence, public safety, aerospace, and emerging technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Canadian Emergency Responders Robotics Association (CERRA)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian Emergency Responders Robotics Association (CERRA) is a national organization representing approximately 700 members from the emergency response community across Canada.

Students<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As summer comes to a close, Niagara College is preparing to welcome students for the Fall 2026 term. For many, September marks the beginning of their #ncLIFE journey, while others are returning to campus to reconnect with classmates, faculty and the NC community. No matter where students are in their NC journey, the start of a new term is an important opportunity to help them feel welcomed, supported and set up for success.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you work directly with students or behind the scenes, the small, everyday interactions you have can make a meaningful difference. A friendly greeting, a willingness to help, or simply being approachable can go a long way in creating a positive and inclusive campus environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NC employees: Help create a warm welcome for students<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fall Orientation takes place on <strong>Tuesday, September 8<\/strong>, with classes beginning on <strong>Wednesday, September 9<\/strong>. Orientation programming continues throughout the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/engagement\/orientation\/socialevents\/\">six weeks of the semester<\/a>, offering students opportunities to build connections, explore campus life, and become familiar with the many resources and supports available to them.<\/p>\n<p>Employees are encouraged to support students wherever they can. Keeping an eye out for those who may need directions, offering assistance when possible, or helping answer questions all contribute to a welcoming campus atmosphere and help students feel at ease as they navigate new spaces, routines and experiences. I invite all employees to wear some NC gear and their nametags, and spend some time around campus to help our students feel welcomed and connected!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful tools and resources to guide your support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make it easier to guide students and enhance their on-campus experience by exploring and promoting the following resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Student Referral Guide:<\/strong> This new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/students\/#studentguide\">online resource<\/a> will help you refer students to the College’s range of student services so that students get the support they need, when they need it! It includes helpful information about how to make an effective referral, an overview of our student services, and new contact information for the 2026-2026 academic year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orientation Website:<\/strong>\u00a0Learn about transition programming, program information sessions, and activities to better assist students with questions or concerns via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/engagement\/orientation\/\">Orientation website<\/a>. Our programming extends beyond May 8 and includes a series of activities and events over the first six weeks of the semester that help students to get connected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LauNCh guide:<\/strong>\u00a0This helpful\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/launchguide\/\">online resource<\/a>\u00a0provides students with resources about the ‘how to’ of #ncLIFE. Many employees will also find it helpful! It includes information about things that a lot of students worry about on their first day, such as getting their Student ID, accessing wifi and email, and finding their timetables. It provides instructions on how to access BrightSpace, in addition to a wealth of academic and personal support resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NC Engage App:<\/strong>\u00a0Get familiar with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncengage.ca\/home_login\">NC Engage App<\/a>\u00a0to help students discover campus activities, events, and opportunities to connect with others.

Toromoreno and Emma Riches, are stepping into new leadership roles as members of the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocaa.com\/student\/studentathletecommittee\">Student-Athlete Committee<\/a> for the 2026-2027 varsity season.<\/p>\n<p>The committee provides a platform for its members to share their perspectives and engage in conversations that help enhance the student-athlete experience within the OCAA.<\/p>\n<p>Toromoreno, a co-captain and midfielder on the Knights Women’s Soccer team, is described by NC coaches and Athletics staff as a person of strong character and high moral standards with an outstanding work ethic and genuine concern for her teammates and others.<\/p>\n<p>“We think Cienna is an ideal representative to give student-athletes a direct voice within the OCAA,” said Lorelle Weavers, Intercollegiate Coordinator with NC Athletics and Student Engagement. “She will bring integrity, leadership, and thoughtful perspective to the committee while working to strengthen the student athlete experience across all OCAA sports.”<\/p>\n<p>During her first season with the Knights in 2024-2025, Toromoreno was named OCAA Rookie of the Year, West Division Second-Team All-Star, and West Division All-Rookie Team. In 2025-2026, she was named a West Division First-Team All-Star.<\/p>\n<p>“My experience as a Niagara College Knights student-athlete has given me a strong understanding of both the opportunities and challenges that come with balancing academics, athletics and personal commitments,” said Toromoreno, a third-year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/business\/program\/sport-management\/\">Sport Management<\/a> student who hopes to build a career that combines her passion for sports with creative storytelling and fan engagement.<\/p>\n<p>“As a co-captain of the women’s soccer team, I have learned the importance of communication, leadership and supporting others. I hope to use these experiences to advocate for student-athletes, share ideas and help create an environment where all athletes feel supported and valued,” she added. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1673391 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660.webp\" alt=\"female soccer players and coaches huddle on the field\" width=\"603\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660.webp 825w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-800x533.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-540x360.webp 540w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-338x225.webp 338w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-180x120.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/09\/DSC_4660-810x540.webp 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Riches is a member of the Knights Curling team (Mixed Doubles) and a second-year <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaracollege.ca\/0103?_gl=1*i1nwtm*_gcl_au*MTk0MzIwNzIzOC4xNzg3ODQzMjg3Li0uLS4xNzg4Mjg0NzIwLjE1ODkyNDMzMDMuMTc4ODI4NDcyMS4xNzg4Mjg4MzA1*_ga*MTkxMDA2MDM2LjE3ODc4NDA2OTU.*_ga_51Q4WHXZWJ*czE3ODgyODgyNzAkbzYkZzEkdDE3ODgyODk1MjUkajYwJGwwJGgxNDU3OTg3MTg0*_ga_DK4KELXBZF*czE3ODgyODgyNzAkbzYkZzEkdDE3ODgyODk1MjUkajYwJGwwJGgxNzE3MDc3MjY.\">Educational Assistance and Adult Supports<\/a> student who is admired for her optimism and commitment.<\/p>\n<p>“Emma is known around the Knights arena as a ray of sunshine, always with a smile on her face and ready with a high-five for her teammate,” said Weavers. “She is positive, very coachable, and a great teammate who is committed to representing NC as a student-athlete.
