Canada is facing real economic, social and global pressures. In moments like these, Canadians are clear about who they trust. Universities educate the nurses, teachers and skilled workers Canada relies on and drives research that strengthens healthcare, technologies and local economics. #PossibleWithU is about making that impact clearer. 🔗 PossibleWithU.ca

Un grand honneur pour la recherche canadienne! 🇨🇦🏆 Gilles Brassard de l’@UMontreal a reçu le prix A. M. Turing, la plus haute distinction en informatique. Ses travaux en cryptographie quantiques révolutionnent les communications sécurisées en protégeant les données sensibles, notamment des données personnelles et financières, des tentatives de piratage dans l’ère de l’informatique quantique. L’obtention de cette distinction est une preuve éloquente de l’excellence de la recherche canadienne et de la contribution des universités à l’avancement des connaissances et de l’innovation : tinyurl.com/GillesBrassard

Thanks @LindseyDeluce at CTV @YourMorning for having our CEO @gabrielbmiller on to talk about AI and what it means for Canadians. As AI becomes part of everyday work, universities are where people gain the skills to develop and use these tools responsibly. ▶️ Watch the clip: // Merci à @LindseyDeluce d’avoir accueilli le PDG de l’association @GabrielMiller lors de l’émission Your Morning à la CTV pour discuter de l’IA et de ses retombées pour les canadien·nes. Il n’est d’aucun doute que cette technologie fait désormais partie de nos vies. Ce sont les universités qui formeront les personnes capables de veiller à son utilisation responsable. 👉 Cliquez ici pour visionner l’entrevue.

Gabriel Miller 🇨🇦@gabrielbmiller

Spent the morning on CTV @yourmorning talking about AI — and the conversation Canada should really be having. AI is shaping how Canadians work and learn: Nearly three in 10 Canadians are using AI at work, and about 60% of occupations are exposed to it in some way. The real question isn’t whether AI will change our lives. It’s who will shape it — and Canada’s universities are helping train the talent who will build and apply these technologies across our economy. Thanks for having me on, @LindseyDeluce. // Ce matin, lors de l’émission @youmorning à la CTV, j’ai eu l’occasion de discuter de l’IA et de la manière dont le Canada devrait l’aborder. L’IA change notre façon de travailler et d’apprendre : Au Canada, environ 3 personnes sur 10 utilisent l’IA au travail et 60 % des professions l’intègrent d’une façon ou d’une autre. Il n’est d’aucun doute que l’IA changera nos vies. La vraie question est celle de savoir qui se chargera de la structurer. C’est là où interviennent les universités canadiennes en formant les talents qui contribueront à développer cette technologie et à l’incorporer à l’économie. Merci à @LindseyDeluce pour cette conversation.

Preparing Canada’s workforce takes innovation and Canada's universities are doing exactly that by bridging learning to real-world experience. @uofg's new WEX program expands paid, full-time work experiences — preparing students for in-demand careers while strengthening the national talent pipeline. Preparing talent at scale is essential to Canada’s prosperity, and universities are leading that work: news.uoguelph.ca/2026/03/new-pr…

Food security depends on resilience — and resilience depends on research. From crop science to #AI tools and sustainable production, members like @usask, @uwaterloo and @uofg are helping food producers adapt to a changing climate and a changing world. These innovations support producers, rural communities and Canada’s long-term competitiveness in agri-food: hilltimes.com/2026/03/09/the…

Gabriel Miller 🇨🇦@gabrielbmiller

For generations, Canada has been able to rely on a strong and stable food system. That assumption is now being tested. Recently in @TheHillTimes, I reflected on how Canadian universities are helping farmers adapt to climate pressures and global uncertainty through research and innovation.

Micah croyait en la capacité des savoirs traditionnels autochtones de protéger la planète et incarnait cette conviction chaque jour. Originaire de Comox Valley sur l’île de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, Micah était d’origine métisse et faisait preuve d’optimisme, de créativité et de considération dans tout ce qu’il entreprenait. Il se dévouait corps et âme à l’éducation des personnes autochtones, à la protection de l’environnement et à la gestion des ressources hydriques, alliant savoir scientifique et savoirs traditionnels. Michah était le genre de personnes capables de rassembler les gens, que ce soit par son travail, ses amitiés ou sa musique. Autodidacte du ukulélé, de la guitare et du banjo, il était ouvert aux autres et croyait en l’adoption de solutions respectueuses de la Terre et de la communauté. Aujourd’hui, les titulaires des Bourses commémoratives du vol 302 poursuivent son œuvre en développant des solutions environnementales dirigées par des personnes autochtones qui portent le même espoir et le même dévouement qui animaient Micah.

Micah believed in the power of Indigenous knowledge to protect the planet — and he lived that belief every day. Born and raised in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, B.C., and of Métis heritage, Micah brought optimism, creativity and care to everything he did. He was deeply committed to Indigenous education, environmental conservation and water stewardship, blending academic insight with traditional ways of knowing. He was the kind of person who inspired connection — whether through his work, his friendships or his music. A self-taught ukulele, guitar and banjo player, Micah made space for others and believed in solutions that honoured both the Earth and community. Today, recipients of the Flight 302 Legacy Award are continuing his work — advancing environmental and Indigenous-led solutions that reflect the same hope and dedication Micah brought to the world.

Darcy a consacré sa vie à la protection de la faune et de l’environnement avec courage, conviction et compassion. Fervent défenseur du Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS), il a œuvré à la protection de l’océan Arctique pour les générations futures. Il était à bord du vol 302 d’Ethiopian Airlines pour présenter cette importante initiative à la conférence des Nations Unies sur l’environnement lorsqu’il y a tragiquement perdu la vie. Aujourd’hui, son héritage perdure grâce aux titulaires des Bourses commémoratives du vol 302, des étudiantes et étudiants tout aussi dévoués pour la protection de l’environnement et de la faune. Leurs travaux incarnent la vision de Darcy, selon laquelle toute personne ayant le courage d’agir peut véritablement changer les choses.

Darcy dedicated his life to protecting wildlife and the environment — a mission rooted in courage, conviction and compassion. As a tireless advocate for the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS), he worked to safeguard the Arctic Ocean for future generations. He was on his way to the United Nations Environment Assembly to raise awareness about this critical initiative when his life was tragically lost on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Today, his legacy lives on through the recipients of the Flight 302 Legacy Award — students who are equally committed to environmental and wildlife protection. Their work carries forward Darcy’s belief that meaningful change starts with those brave enough to act. Read more about this year’s scholarship recipients and their work: tinyurl.com/Flight302En
