A small gesture to start the day ☕️

Allegro Coffee on hand for Staff Appreciation Day—just one way to show our gratitude for the faculty and staff who make West Island College such a special place to learn and work.

Mental Health Week is officially underway at West Island College.

Led by our Wellness Council, this week is a chance for our community to pause, reset, and support one another during a busy time of year. With final assignments and year-end commitments approaching, it’s a reminder that well-being comes first.

All week long, students can take part in activities that promote balance, connection, and school spirit—from free stickers and candy, a video game competition, and a dog visit, to Dance Dance Revolution, a movie viewing, and a Mother’s Day Market. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.

A reminder to students to wear formal uniform, including BLACK SHOES, on Monday, April 27 and Tuesday, April 28.

Please ensure you are dressed appropriately for our Photoshoot Day and Grandparents’ Day.

We look forward to seeing everyone represent WIC in their best formal uniform attire!

Season Complete. Proud of the grit, growth, and heart displayed by all our teams and players. Way to go, Wolves!

More than just a game.
