A message from Cyndi McLeod, CEO of GUS North America:

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the achievements of women and recognize the vital role education plays in advancing equality.

At GUS North America, more than half of our workforce and senior leadership positions are held by women, and their contributions drive our institutions forward every day. At our higher-education institutions, we are honoured to educate women from diverse cultures and backgrounds, equipping these students with the knowledge and skills to break barriers and lead with confidence.

Let’s continue to accelerate action, inspire inclusion, and champion the power of education in transforming lives.

Happy International Women’s Day!

On this Remembrance Day, we honour and remember the courage and sacrifice of those who has served. Let us never forget their dedication to peace and freedom.

It's National Nachos Day!
🇲🇽✨ Do you know the story behind everyone's favourite snack—nachos? 🇲🇽✨

In 1943, Mexican chef Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya crafted this classic to satisfy a group of American soldiers' wives with only a few ingredients in his kitchen. He layered tortilla chips with cheese and jalapeños, creating an iconic dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine worldwide!

Did you know Vancouver is ranked #1 for Mexican food in Canada by Chef's Pencil?

With two GUS Canada institutions in Vancouver—University Canada West and Canadian College of Technology and Business—our faculty and students can easily grab some nachos at top spots around the city. 🌮
