Canadian Immigrant : Top 25 Canadian Immigrants - 0 views

  •  
    Tomorrow, MaRS hosts our 2nd extended citizenship ceremony. Sixty New Canadians along with their family and friends will take their oath right here in the MaRS Auditorium. Interesting to hear from one of our own community, Dr. Rosalind Silverman, a postdoctoral fellow with TGH and UofT Medicine, who won first-ever Top 25 Canadian Immigrants awards. Read her (and her sister, a a postdoc at UofT Medicine) story. This is why MaRS is involved in stuff like this: culturally diverse cities are also the most innovative (or so says Richard Florida). If we want to excel in the knowledge economy, we should all celebrate our cultural diversity!

The Long Game | Xconomy - 0 views

  • Closer to home, Toronto recognized a few years ago that it was losing ground in the sciences, so it deleted two-square kilometers of its downtown and replaced it with the Mars Discovery District, a vast collection of intertwined university research facilities, commercial research space, and the best biotech incubator space I’ve ever seen—and I’m an incubator guy.
  •  
    MaRS is held up as an example of what an "old" city can do if they're ambitious and just decide to do something. Like when Toronto decided that it wanted to gain ground in the science knowledge economy. Nevermind that AGAIN MaRS is misrepresented as a biotech incubator -- I suppose there are worse things to be called. But still part of an ambitious, big-thinking plan to improve the science, tech and social outcomes of the economy. Amen.
