It is hard to believe our inaugural cohort students are now in their sophomore year! Despite several challenges and transitions they faced in their first year of post-secondary, we have been blown away by their remarkable resilience, peer-to-peer support and academic achievements.
This outstanding work didn’t go unnoticed and based on Ryan Beedie’s recommendation, our inaugural Beedie Luminaries Annual Recognition Awards program was launched!
