Kenmount Road Campus “Convocation 2026”
Posted July 2, 2026
On June 18, 2026, the Kenmount Road Campus team, with the help of the Arts and Culture Centre, planned and prepared an unforgettable convocation for our 2026 graduates. With over 120 students crossing the stage, staff, families and guests were fortunate enough to celebrate the educational accomplishments set out by each graduating student.
During the ceremony, our President and CEO, Ms. Lisa Lovelady, offered words of encouragement and provided well wishes for future successes as the students look at their next phases after obtaining their program diplomas.
Next on stage was Sarah Montgomery, a former Massage Therapy graduate and current business owner, speak to the class of 2026 to help inspire the students and encourage them on how to handle their next steps in life after College and pathways to new careers.
The students and their families were proud of their respected program accomplishments. After crossing the stage, the 2026 graduates join an alumnus of over 40,000 students. We are all truly excited to see what accomplishments are next for these achieving students.
We would like to send out our sincere gratitude and congratulations to all the students who were nominated for the 2026 President Award. The values and hard work associated with the President’s Award include leadership, positive attitude, and overall satisfaction and excellence.
