Georgian College Muskoka Campus

Thanks to the ongoing support of the Dr. William S. Monk Community Health Care Development Fund, two more students are pursuing careers as Personal Support Workers.

The Dr. William S. Monk Community PSW Award is awarded to two full-time students in the Personal Support Worker program at Georgian College’s Muskoka campus. Each successful applicant receives $4,750.

Personal Support Workers play a vital role, providing compassionate care and supporting the health and well-being of our communities. This award ensures Muskoka continues to benefit from skilled, dedicated PSWs who make a difference in people’s lives every day.

🥍📖 Sticks and Stories: A Day to Remember! 📖🥍

A heartfelt thank you to Joe Valliere, Rama First Nation member, and Jim Calder, Canadian National Field Lacrosse Team player and author of Tales of a Lacrosse Troubadour, for their inspiring presentation at our Sticks and Stories event! 🙏

Elementary students from Muskoka Falls Public School, had an unforgettable experience learning about the rich history and cultural significance of the ancient game of lacrosse while crafting their very own lacrosse sticks, crafted in house on our CNC machine! 🛠️🔥

What a powerful way to blend culture, creativity, and community! 💫

🌿✨ students at Georgian College Muskoka Campus had the honor of learning from Sarah Cunningham, Indigenous Patient Care Navigator with Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare.

Sarah spoke about the importance of her role as an Indigenous Patient Care Navigator — a compassionate bridge between Indigenous patients, healthcare providers, and community services. From advocating for culturally safe care to supporting access to traditional healing and translation services, her role is to ensure every patient is seen, heard, and respected. 🧡

Students also had the opportunity to participate in a smudging ceremony; a sacred tradition that purifies and uplifts the mind, body, and spirit. 🕊️🔥

This powerful session deepened our students’ understanding of Indigenous health and the importance of providing care with cultural awareness and respect. 🌎💬

🎉 Last week, we hosted the Explore Trades and Technologies Summit in partnership with #CICan, #JANEO, #RBC, #TLDSB, and #SMCDSB! 🔧 Seventy-five grade 11 and 12 students from across the boards participated in hands-on skilled trades activities, gaining valuable exposure to exciting career paths. 💬 The day also featured an employer panel, giving students the chance to ask questions and learn directly from industry professionals. @college_can @ja_neo_ @rbc @trillium_lakelands_dsb @we_are_smcdsb 👏 A huge thank you to our partners and everyone who helped make this event a success.
