Cornwall Business students in the Culture, Leadership & Management class recently hosted a candid interview session with Cornwall City Counsellor, Carilyne Hebert, also an alumnus of SLC Cornwall's Business program.  We were honored to welcome Carilyne, the newly appointed Engagement & Navigation Lead at the Great River Ontario Health Team (GROHT) after completing a successful tenure as Executive Director at Social Development Council Cornwall & SDG. Her candid reflections on growing up, her time at SLC, which she called some of her fondest memories, and her journey into public service resonated deeply.

When Michelle Cifuentes moved from Guatemala to Canada, she didn’t expect content creation to become such a defining part of her journey, or to lead her to being named Content Creator of the Year with Latin American Impact.

Environmental Technician students recently put theory into practice, taking part in a phragmites removal project at Rotary Creek in Lamoureux Park, Cornwall.

Working alongside professionals from the River Institute, students helped control one of Ontario’s most aggressive invaders, the European Common Reed (Phragmites australis).
