Dear Georgian,

Aaniin, She:Kon, Nakurmiik, Tanshi, which means hello in Ojibwe, Mohawk, Inuktitut and Michif (the traditional language of the Métis). Today is National Philanthropy Day and I want to personally extend my deep appreciation for your continued friendship and investment in the college. Your support makes a meaningful and lasting impact on our students and is helping to ensure we deliver an unrivaled experience.

I’m consistently inspired by our students’ courage to pursue their passion and dreams, start or change careers, persist through challenging circumstances, and make better lives for themselves and their families. Many call Central Ontario their home while others come from across Canada and more than 85 countries around the world bringing their unique experiences and perspectives that truly enrich our classrooms and communities.

Your support enables them to focus on what matters – their studies – and influences their postsecondary journey in immeasurable ways. With more than 100,000 alumni worldwide, I’ve seen firsthand the power education has to transform lives and your generosity at work through awards and scholarships, expanded and improved programs and facilities, and so much more.

Georgian’s success – our students’ success – is in large part because of you. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude. Chi-Miigwech.

Kind regards,

Kevin Weaver

President and CEO

Members from the GCRC, Orillia GCSA, and Georgian College staff gathered to celebrate GCRC's donation on Sept. 6 and discuss the food locker program.

With the cost of living increasing, the food locker program across Georgian's campuses are seeing a higher demand than ever before. At Georgian's recent fundraising gala, Student Life Coordinator Chris White explained the recent increase in need and how the GCSA is meeting that challenge with the help of donors like you.
