CIC Toronto is hosting an event with Small Business Services from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) which will provide you with the information you need to start or grow your business, from how to start your business to licenses and permits and financing support from Government.

If you are starting or expanding your business, getting the right information can mean the difference between success and failure. Maximize your scope of resources starting with these federal government programs, services and regulations.

We're excited to announce that CIC Toronto is coming back full force for our first in-person public event since the pandemic: Career Fair 2022!

Our Career Fair has successfully connected students, postdocs, and professionals in the chemical community with a variety of industrial partners in the past couple of years, and we are not planning to stop that!

Networking has been a huge part of Connie's career path, from finishing grad school and especially in the early transition into working full-time. In this talk, you will get a chance to explore her career path and learn more about networking at key points, especially with some practical and actionable advice to make networking more accessible.

Cellular Agriculture, a technology that allows us to obtain agricultural products using cell cultures, was considered one of the solutions to mitigate our impact on finite natural resources in the latest IPCC sixth assessment report. More than just a novel technology to obtain new products, it has the potential to transform our food system into a more just and democratic one. But, to achieve this goal, we will need all hands on deck, collaboration, and openness. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the science behind cell-cultured food products and highlight some benefits and challenges the field faces.

Come join us at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) to learn more about our section activities in the past year, such as Career Exploration Series, Career Fair, Public Outreach, etc. as well as how to get more involved with the chemical community.
