CALL TO ONTARIO SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO INNOVATE DEVICES HELPFUL FOR THE ONTARIO CORPS My Idea for Ontario Corps Peter Bethlenfalvy my idea is for Government of Ontario to call Ontario's educational institutes to create, innovate and improve devices and technologies helpful in the work of "Ontario Corps". My Idea will: ☆ Add to the work of "Ontario Corps". ☆ Add to creative and innovative tech research and development in Ontario. ☆ Result in the devices and technologies created, invented and improved by the faculties and students in Ontario's educational institutes getting patented in Ontario so to benefit the relevant faculties and students besides the "Ontario Corps". ☆ Enhance Ontario's tech creativity and innovation profile. #Ontario
