Students Embrace Connection to Community
Sep 5, 2017 | Canadore College
(NORTH BAY, ONT.) – Canadore College students will have the chance to learn more about North Bay as a broader community at this week’s Student Life Expo.
Canadore’s classes officially began today and all first-year students participated in a ‘Partners in Success’ orientation session which promoted habits for success, outlined student support services, college policies, as well as student freedoms and responsibilities.
The expo’s exhibits will build on the information delivered in the classroom and provide a networking opportunity for students to personally engage with College resources and valuable community partners. The Canadore Students’ Council is also sponsoring a free barbecue for its students.
Exhibitors include various internal Canadore departments including its comprehensive student success services, athletics and employer services, along with external organizations like 2018 Ford World Women’s Curling, AIDS Committee of North Bay & Area, Business Centre of Nipissing Parry Sound, Caisse Populaire North Bay, Davids Tea, Hard Hat Hunter, Innovation Initiatives Ontario North (IION), Mary Kay Cosmetics, North Bay and District Multicultural Centre, North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit, Northern Axperts, Plan A, Scotia Bank of Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart, Waxman Records, WE SPEAK STUDENT, and much more.
