Message from the President: June 27, 2023

Posted on Tuesday, June 27th, 2023

As we embrace the summer season and a well-deserved long weekend, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for your tremendous efforts in ensuring the success of our recent graduates and the 2023 Spring convocation ceremonies. These ceremonies are always a highlight for me as we witness our graduates proudly crossing the stage and celebrating with their loved ones, as we honour their achievements.

Organizing and executing convocation is a significant undertaking, and I would like to acknowledge the countless individuals who dedicated their time and expertise to the planning and logistics. The ceremonies were flawlessly executed, meaningful, and left a lasting impact on all those who attended in person or watched online. To those who remained on campus, diligently ensuring that our regular operations continued without a hitch, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for keeping things running smoothly.

As we approach the end of the month, Canada Day looms just around the corner. Traditionally, this is a time to celebrate and enjoy festivities with friends and family. I would also kindly invite each of you to take a moment to reflect on the historical context of colonialism and explore ways in which we can collectively deepen our understanding of our country’s past. By doing so, we can work together to foster new, improved, and more resilient relationships as we move forward. Your thoughtful engagement in this reflection will contribute to our shared growth and progress.

Over the course of the upcoming summer months, I hope that each of you will have the opportunity to connect with family and friends, and also find moments of respite, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Finally, I want to acknowledge and express my sincere gratitude for the unwavering dedication, commitment and passion you bring to your work, which is truly invaluable to our college community.

Thank you, merci, miigwetch.

Sincerely,
Claude Brulé
Algonquin College President and CEO
