Sheridan College is known the world over for its 3-D animation department. You could probably go to any video game studio in this part of the world and find a graduate from Sheridan College. So on the artist side of things, it's definitely been around for a while. You can highlight a number of video game programs that do coding, all the way from Acadia University in Nova Scotia—UPEI has a video-game-specific program as well—out to the Centre for Digital Media at the Great Northern Way Campus in British Columbia, which is becoming well known with their digital media master's program. There are a number of schools. Even Waterloo, which is not necessarily known for video games, produces world-renowned software engineers who are well suited for our industry.
