Students from Canadore are working on a feature film through an agreement between the college and Other Animal Entertainment.

The teen drama ‘Cold Strings’ will be filmed and produced in North Bay, and is expected to be released in 2020.

Various stages of production have been integrated into college programming with opportunities for mentorship in editing, post production, acting and more.

For a fee the company will have access to the college’s state-of-the art industry equipment and campus facilities.

 

Meantime, Canadore is investing in new agricultural technology in hopes of supporting and changing the way that food is supplied to vulnerable northern communities.

Four grow pods are expected to be delivered in November and will initially be used for research and academic training.

The food security project and demonstration site is geared to social innovation and entrepreneurship and will work toward creating food sovereignty for the north.

The sustainable food site will have the capacity to produce about 30,000 pounds of food a year.
