Hospitality and Tourism degree students raise over $26K for local charities
Posted on Friday, May 12th, 2023
Congratulations to our latest cohort of graduating Bachelor of Hospitality and Tourism Management (BHTM) students that raised $26,324.62 for five local charities:
- CHEO
- Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation
- Do it for Daron
- Canadian Guide Dogs
- Harmer House
In addition, 10% of monies raised went towards a scholarship to help BHTM students in need.
This group of students has shown perseverance and dedication to their industry through planning, executing and hosting live events this spring – all on a zero budget. These events are now in the history books but the impact of the money raised remains.
We wish them well in their future endeavours.

Since 2017 alone, our region has experienced two significant flood events, a tornado touchdown, a global pandemic and a derecho windstorm.
