George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Strategy 2026: A Roadmap for the Future
Strategy 2026 guided George Brown Polytechnic from 2021–22 through 2025–26. Developed as we emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, the plan focused on growth and impact, with six priorities spanning learner success, academic innovation, partnerships, environmental sustainability, equity, and financial sustainability.
The years that followed brought significant changes to post-secondary education, including shifting enrolment patterns and government policies. Through these challenges, we continued to develop new learning opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and build on our role as a polytechnic.
Building on our achievements
During Strategy 2026, we introduced our first applied master's degree, the Master of Construction Management, and expanded academic partnerships with institutions including Niagara College and the University of Toronto.
We also advanced sustainability through initiatives such as the Brookfield Sustainability Institute and Limberlost Place, while strengthening our work in accessibility, equity, and inclusion.
In 2025, we adopted the name George Brown Polytechnic, reflecting our longstanding commitment to applied education, research, and industry collaboration.
These achievements, along with the lessons we learned, helped lay the groundwork for Strategy 2030, our current strategic plan.
Vision 2030, Strategy 2022: Imagining Possibilities
Recognizing the pace of change and the complexity of our environment, we took a new approach to our strategic development process for Strategy 2022.
We developed a long-term perspective and vision to guide us toward the George Brown College of 2030, while also delivering on the strategy with commitments for three years, 2019 through 2022. This strategy was the collective narrative of our future aspirations. We reinforced these commitments through our priorities and plans as we aligned our efforts.
