RRC Polytech is home to a number of research centres and labs, including:
Going Electric in the Sub-Artic
Zero-emission vehicles are one way Canada is positioning itself as a global leader in the green transition and polytechnics are taking on the challenge alongside industry collaborators. For example, RRC Polytech partnered with Frontiers North Adventures to analyze the technical feasibility of converting the company’s Tundra Buggies into electric vehicles. By transitioning the fleet from diesel power to battery electric, the partnership paves the way to greater climate resilience and supports green tourism. The success of this research project has inspired other companies to adapt to electric power using repurposed batteries.

Removing Barriers to Indigenous Entrepreneurship
Economic reconciliation is top of mind for many polytechnic institutions, none more so than RRC Polytech. To unlock business opportunities for Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba, RRC launched the Indigenous Entrepreneurship Acceleration and Incubation Initiative, Mittohnee Pogo’ohtah. The first of its kind in the province, the initiative assists Indigenous RRC graduates that want to start businesses by connecting them with advisors and mentors. Similar support will be provided to Indigenous entrepreneurs and businesses looking to pivot, scale up or enter new joint ventures.
