Algonquin College’s Pembroke Waterfront Campus has many students who directly connect to the military community.

Recently the Pembroke Campus Dean, Sarah Hall and the Commander of Garrison Petawawa, Colonel Jason Guiney signed a memorandum of collaboration that will lead to more partnerships between the college and the military community. This will include more opportunity for current and exiting military members, veterans and military spouses to learn more about the programs and services that are available to them at Algonquin College, as well an annual Canadian Armed Forces Day at the Pembroke Campus.
