Posted April 29, 2025
On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, Harding Road Campus students and staff attended Academy Canada’s Convocation Ceremony.
We had 160 plus graduates from the 2024-2025 college year attend.
Ms. Suzanne Jordan, Campus Coordinator, began with opening remarks and introduced our amazing staff!
Our 2025 Valedictorian, Nicole Woodman, in our Massage Therapy program, shared her inspiration words for the class of 2025 along with her wonderful memories and experience during her time as a student with us.
President’s Award
The President’s Award is Academy Canada’s highest honour awarded to one student from each graduating year who reflects the ideals we strive to instill in our graduates including leadership, professionalism, positive attitude, good overall average and a willingness to participate in school activities.
Staff members provide recommendations to Academy Canada’s president, Mr. Mike Barrett, who selects a recipient. A difficult decision to make as several students were deserving of this award.
Ms. Suzanne Jordan, Campus Coordinator, presented this award to Automotive Service Technician graduate, Allie Noseworthy.
