Community Gathering in Honour of Algonquin Student Savanna Pikuyak

Posted on Friday, September 16th, 2022

The College community is mourning the sudden passing of first-year Pre-Health Sciences Pathway’s student, Savanna Pikuyak. Savanna, aged 22, was studying at the Ottawa Campus and had come to Algonquin College from Nunavut.

A community gathering to honour Savanna will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022 at 2:30 p.m. in Ishkodewan (rain location in Nawapon). Community members are invited to mourn, pay respects and come together at this challenging time.

As we grieve this senseless and tragic loss, the College is making resources available, including counselling services, to any employee or learner in need of assistance. Program chairs and faculty are also coordinating any support required for classmates, teachers and friends of Savanna at this difficult time.
