On November 20, Mohawk College's School of Climate Action proudly welcomed attendees to the Fall 2025 PIVOT Symposium, held at the Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation, Canada's largest institutional net-zero building. The event brought together thought leaders, industry experts, and students to explore innovative solutions for advancing climate action and sustainability.
We were honored to feature Dr. Blair Feltmate as our keynote speaker, alongside a lineup of esteemed panelists who shared insights on critical topics shaping the future of climate resilience and technology. Their expertise sparked meaningful conversations and inspired actionable ideas.
This year's symposium was made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, and included staff support from across the college. We were especially thrilled to offer complimentary tickets to Mohawk College students, ensuring the next generation of sustainability leaders could engage in these important discussions.
"As we build out the new School of Climate Action, we have several key priorities, including the development of innovative credential programs and creating upskilling and reskilling opportunities for the workforce of tomorrow. At the same time, we are deeply committed to establishing Mohawk College as a knowledge leader in the sustainability and climate action space," says Dave Santi, Dean, School of Climate Action "Events like PIVOT are essential to that mission and they provide a platform for collaboration, thought leadership, and actionable solutions that drive real change."
Looking ahead, we're excited to announce the Spring 2026 PIVOT Conference, scheduled for May 27 & 28, 2026, right here on campus. The call for proposals is now open submit your ideas and help shape the conversation: Call for Proposals.
