Ontario’s public college graduates were celebrated during an incredible evening at the 2024 Premier's Awards gala on Nov. 25 in Toronto, recognizing seven exceptional alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their fields and communities. Their success underscores the transformative power of public college education, its role in driving innovation and excellence, and the meaningful contributions of college graduates to their communities and to regional labour markets.
We also celebrated Patti France, a dedicated leader and advocate for post-secondary education and the former President of St. Clair College, who was honoured with the Minister's Lifetime Achievement Award. Her visionary leadership has left a lasting legacy in Ontario’s college system.
