The Office of Risk Management supports the strategic planning process by working to raise awareness of risks that may adversely affect its successful implementation. We are committed to fostering a culture of risk ownership throughout the university. This does not mean we avoid engaging in activities that have risk or that we avoid risk in our teaching and research and other activities we undertake for the university.  We recognize that both strategic and operational decisions and the work undertaken by faculty, staff and employees, all inherently involve risk. The university is committed to academic freedom. 

We are committed to providing strategic leadership and direction in the evolution and implementation of enterprise risk management, which ensures a consistent and proactive approach. In consultation with all levels of the organization, we integrate risk management strategies across the university to ensure risks impacting the strategic objectives are effectively identified and managed on a priority basis.

KEVIN ARBOUR

GENERAL MANAGER, REGENT THEATRE

The Regent Theatre was constructed in 1919 by Norman McLeod Ltd, at a cost of $100,000. The King Street façade of the theatre was modeled on Georgian architectural lines and as such the architectural features are very symmetrical. The building is one of the few remaining examples in Oshawa of this classically inspired architectural style

After undergoing numerous renovations Ontario Tech University purchased the theatre in November 2009.  Reopened in September 2010, the Regent Theatre now functions as a large lecture theatre for students and for community and cultural events during the evenings and on weekends throughout the year.

In the summer of 2013 Ontario Tech University commissioned the complete replacement of the ceiling structure and re-creation of the original historical plaster moldings which are now decorated in blue and gold.
