| The Design Industry Advisory Committee
(DIAC) was formed in January 2001 by City of Toronto Economic
Development and comprised of stakeholders of the design industry
and the Design Exchange. It set as its primary goal the strengthening
of design-related strategic partnerships that address human

envisions a future Ontario in which the design industry workforce
expands it s skills and capabilities in order to play a vital
role in the economic and social health of the province.
