Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Algonquin College Cooperative Education Awards of Excellence – I wish I could be there today, but rest assured, I am with you in spirit.

Today is a proud day for our College as we come together to celebrate the accomplishments of our talented Algonquin College Co-op students, and the commitment of some of our most dedicated employers and co-op supervisors.

Today, you are seated in our Restaurant International. This space is a living lab where learners in our School of Hospitality and Tourism get to practise their skills in a real-world, fully functional, fine-dining restaurant. Today, you are all a part of their classroom experience.

To our Learners: We are incredibly proud of our co-op students each semester as we see them grow professionally and make the transition from college to career. You are the reason why employers look to us for their next hires. Congratulations on winning this award today.

To our Employers: Thank you for being here today, and for your continued support and dedication you have shown our learners and our College. Your work, directly with our students, is key to their development and professional growth. Thank you for your efforts, and congratulations on your well-deserved award.

To our Nominees: It takes time, effort, and initiative to nominate someone for an award – thank you for reflecting on your experience and making today’s event possible.

Congratulations to all of the 2020 Algonquin College Cooperative Education Awards of Excellence winners. We are so proud to have you with us today and cannot wait to see what additional accomplishments this co-op experience enables our learners, graduates, and employers to achieve today and in the future.

Thank you again for joining us today. This is an exciting time as our College continues to grow our co-op presence in the Ottawa region, in Ontario and in Canada — together with our talented co-op students, skilled faculty, and employer partners.

Thank you, merci, miigwetch
