On Tuesday, Feb. 28, Algonquin College proudly hosted the Skilled Trades and Technology Day for Young Women in the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence. It was an inspiring event, not only for the young women who attended but for our team of Algonquin College facilitators and lab leaders as well.

Algonquin College aims to transform hopes and dreams into lifelong success.
To further this mission, the college is constantly striving to improve offerings to learners.
This includes expanding programs and opportunities. At the end of August, the first cohort from the Bachelor of Engineering (Automation and Robotics) program will graduate. Algonquin College is currently the only college in Ontario offering this program.
To mark National Engineering month, we take a closer look at this program.
For AC Kindness Week, Feb. 13 to Feb. 20, we asked Algonquin College learners how they spread kindness in their community. With an overwhelming number of responses, here are just a few of the things learners are doing to spread kindness.
- Complimenting one another
- Offering help to someone in need
- Setting aside time to catch up with a friend
- Speaking kindly to one another
- Being an active and attentive listener
If you’re interested in getting involved in your AC community and spreading kindness in a long-lasting and meaningful way, consider volunteering through the AC Volunteer Centre. Learn more about the Centre and how to get involved using this link.
