Mohawk College

Held in New York City in early May, The One Club for Creativity's student competitions celebrate up-and-coming creatives from around the world in various disciplines, including design, writing, technology, and filmmaking. Mohawk College Advertising students are celebrating and taking home two bronze medals and eight awards of merit, as well as placing first among Canadian institutions and 12th in the world!

Last week, colleagues from the Mohawk College Centre for Indigenous Relations, Knowledge, and Learning (CIRKL), the Sustainability Office, Facilities, and a dedicated group of student volunteers gathered at the Fennell Campus for a morning rooted in environmental stewardship and community connection.

Students, staff and volunteers worked together to plant seven sugar maple trees—a number intentionally chosen to honour the Seven Grandfather Teachings in Anishinaabe culture, representing love, truth, wisdom, humility, respect, courage, and honesty.

Native to the region, sugar maples are treasured for their brilliant autumn colours, maple syrup production, and vital role in supporting the local ecosystem, while also holding deep cultural significance for Indigenous communities. Through this collaboration with CIRKL, the newly planted trees will contribute to future land-based learning opportunities on campus.

The Power of Nurses to Transform Health, the theme of this year's Nurses Week, was on full display at Mohawk College’s inaugural SimCon event. Hosted at the Institute for Applied Health Sciences, the day was filled with inspiring conversations, innovative simulation experiences between faculty and students, and a shared commitment to advancing patient care through education and technology.

Earlier this week, over 50 students represented Mohawk College at the 2026 Skills Canada - Ontario Competition and brought home 12 medals! Student competitors showcased their knowledge and skills on the main stage, demonstrating the impact of industry-led learning in various fields.

Thank you to Mohawk College Alumni Association for sponsoring the team, and all of our coaches who guided and supported students throughout the preparation and duration on the competition. 👏

Last week, the Sustainability Office at Mohawk College hosted a Hivewarming Party to celebrate and welcome our campus honey bees moving into their bee-autifully upgraded, student-painted hives! 🐝

Through an interactive, educational demonstration led by local beekeeper, Backed By Bees, Mohawk College community members learned about how bee hives work, why honey bees are essential to our ecosystem, and how we care for our campus colony.

This year's theme, Our Power, Our Planet, emphasizes that environmental progress is built through everyday action and community participation. Through ongoing efforts and initiatives, Mohawk College has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by over 70% from 2007 levels.

Together we can work toward a more sustainable future. How are you celebrating ?
