As vaccine distribution continues to increase across the province, it's finally beginning to feel like there is a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. When the world begins to reopen, we hope that we are all able to remember the lessons learned during this strange time. Most importantly, finding time to make self-care a priority.
Even though the pace of our everyday lives may start to become more hurried, that shouldn’t mean we have to forego time spent checking in with ourselves. Whether it's finding time to complete a mindfulness exercise, going for a walk or run, reading a book, or simply take a moment to stop and enjoy the flowers, try to remember that self-care is not selfish.
As spring slowly begins to feel like summer, we hope you, our friends and clients, remain safe and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you back on campus when it is safe to do so.

Georgian creates value in many ways |
|
Did you know that when you choose to host your conference or event at Georgian College, you are not only choosing to support student success, but you are also contributing to the overall success of the Barrie region?
According to a recent economic impact study by Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI), Georgian College campuses contribute $1.7 billion in income to the Georgian catchment area economy, approximately 5.3 per cent of the total gross regional product. This equates to 22,752 regional jobs, or one out of every 15 jobs in the catchment area. Student spending adds $64.4 million in income, while alumni impact accounts for $1.4 billion!
"This study quantifies the economic value of Georgian and the significant return on investment for our students, employers and the communities we serve. Georgian students contribute to the local economy while studying and generate longer-lasting impact as alumni, many of whom will choose to make Barrie and surrounding area their home — they are essential to the success of our local employers, regional economy and they also serve as catalysts for social innovation." – Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes, President and CEO
Be sure to visit the Georgian website to view the economic impact executive summary report and read inspiring stories about our alumni and local employers.
