Algonquin College welcomed post-secondary leaders from across the country on April 24 for the Pan-Canadian AI Consortium (PCAIC) AI Innovation Leadership Design Sprint, held at the Ottawa Campus.
Co-hosted with Bow Valley College, the session brought together college presidents, working group leads and sector partners to collaborate on how artificial intelligence can enhance the learner experience, strengthen teaching and learning and support workforce readiness across Canada.
At this week’s national Colleges and Institutes Canada Conference, students and researchers from Algonquin College shared how a co‑created board game was opening new conversations and pathways for youth across Ottawa.
A small team of researchers and students shared something unusual on a national stage. At the conference, they presented a board game.
It might have sounded unexpected, but for this group, the game was serious work.

April is National Woodworking Month, a yearly celebration since 1990 dedicated to highlighting the artistry, skill, and tradition of crafting with wood. It serves as a time for hobbyists and professionals to engage in projects, learn new techniques, and celebrate craftsmanship through workshops, special events, and tool sales.
To celebrate, we’re highlighting the Algonquin Wolves Loggersports team, based out of the Pembroke Campus. The team has been a long-standing part of student life, with a history rooted in the Forestry programs and the campus’ connection to the forestry industry. The team has been a part of the Canadian Intercollegiate Lumberjacking Association (CILA) since at least 1999.
