We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

FAQ'S - OntarioTechU.Net

General

Alumni

Is this email really for "life"?
We hope so, but the reality is technology changes and who knows what email communication will look like in 30 years. That said, we're confident that both Google and Ontario Tech University will be around in some form for a very long time and your OntarioTechU.Net account will be as well. Of course, email usage is subject to Google's terms of use, and to Ontario Tech's own policies around use of its web properties. As such, we reserve the right to suspend or de-activate accounts if there is any breach of the user agreements.
Why is Ontario Tech offering email for life to its alumni?
Ontario Tech's primary reason for offering email for life is because it has been frequently requested by alumni. Email also offers Ontario Tech and the Ontario Tech Alumni Association a more environmentally friendly and cost-efficient way to communicate with alumni.
How many Ontario Tech alumni have an OntarioTechU.Net email account?
More than 12,000 Ontario Tech alumni have an OntarioTechU.Net email address available to them.
Will Ontario Tech contact me more often now?
No. We try to be mindful of the number and frequency of emails sent out to alumni.
I already have a Gmail account. How does that help me?
Only Ontario Tech has the right to provision Google accounts with the OntarioTechu.Net domain. This demonstration of your affiliation with Ontario Tech can be useful for resumes and connecting with fellow alumni.
Will there be a central directory to find other alumni?
