To celebrate Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO)’s 50th anniversary, Algonquin College joins other institutions across Ottawa to mark the occasion by lighting up the night sky purple.

From providing pediatric care to pioneering groundbreaking medical treatment, CHEO has held a special place in the community for 50 years.

“CHEO has been a long-standing partner for our health programs, from nursing and respiratory therapy to our suite of diagnostic imaging programs, students learn first-hand from our most critical patient voice of all, that of our children. They are a great friend and I wish them sincere congratulations on their milestone anniversary.” said Erin Stitt-Cavanagh, Dean, School of Health Studies.

Algonquin College pastry chef and instructor Bhakti Sheth appeared on CBC’s Ottawa Morning show hosted by Robyn Bresnahan on May 7 to share about her culinary experiences. The visit came ahead of Flavours of Bharat, an event at Lansdowne on May 8 that Sheth will be participating in, alongside Bakery and Pastry Arts Program Coordinator Harsh Singh, and seven other guests.

In the clip, Sheth talks about teaching learners at the College, pursuing pastry arts, migrating to Canada and weaving her Indian culture and flavours into her work.

“I have India in my heart, and I always carry that anything that I make. One of the recipes I make is a fennel seed cucumber sorbet, so it’s always about getting Indian {flavour} in there,” Sheth shared.
