COMMUNITY  In June, we held our second annual  First Nations, Métis and Inuit awards  ceremony in Toronto to recognize  the achievements of First Nations  and Métis youth in the energy sector.  The award honours youth who are  attending a post-secondary program  with a focus on the electricity  industry, and who have demonstrated  that they are leaders in the  communities we serve. The EDC visited a number of  community fairs and events  throughout Ontario in 2013,  including the International Plowing  Match in Mitchell in September,  The Association of Municipalities  Conference in Toronto in December,  and Alight at Night in Morrisburg, also in December. Our success relies heavily on our  people. From the crews in the field  to those in head office, Hydro One  employees represent many cultures,  backgrounds and skills. We are as  diverse as Ontario, and we work  together to provide Ontarians with  a level of customer service they so  richly deserve.  Just as we are committed to investing  in educating and training our current  and future workforce, we are also  committed to building our corporate  reputation by investing in Ontario and its communities through the development of partnerships and initiatives.  In March, we announced a partnership  with Ryerson University, the University  of Ontario Institute of Technology, the  University of Waterloo and Western  University to increase the number of  female students pursuing careers in  the Science, Mathematics, Technology  and Engineering fields.  A number of key partnerships and  initiatives were launched in 2013  to continue Hydro One’s culture of  putting Ontarians first. The main goal of the Women in  Engineering University Partnership  is to increase the number of female  engineering students and graduates  over the next four years. Hydro One also sponsors two  academic awards for outstanding  black students attending an Ontario  college or university through our  William Peyton Hubbard Award. We broadened our longstanding  commitment to electricity education  and consumer engagement with the September 2013, launch of our  Electricity Discovery Centre (EDC). The 1,000-square-foot, fully  accessible mobile centre features  hands-on exhibits about electrical  safety, energy conservation and how we invest in Ontario’s  electricity system. In August, we partnered with  Northern College and the District  School Board Ontario North East to  host a week-long retreat in Timmins  for 29 Aboriginal youth between  the ages of 12 and 18. As part of  Hydro One’s College Consortium,  Lightning Trail provided the youth  with opportunities to explore several  trades and technology programs  related to the electricity industry.  Each student received a Certificate of Completion from Northern College, with three participants  awarded Northern College Hydro One Aboriginal Leadership Entrance Bursaries.  The EDC features a solar charging  station, the Kids’ Electricity Safety  Team Headquarters, the Time-of-Use  game and videos on Ontario’s power system. The EDC travels across  the province to engage and educate our customers.
