International Women’s Day

Every March 8th, the world recognizes International Women’s Day. It’s a day to celebrate the accomplishments of women and recognize women’s social, economic, cultural and political achievements. In light of International Women’s Day, Mississauga Campus had hosted a “Women Empowerment Workshop” which explored topics such as female empowerment, the importance of sisterhood, but most importantly, raising awareness about women’s equality and inclusion. The workshop included activities, inspiring affirmations, open discussion and a self-care package with basic necessities that was provided to all attendees. 

While women’s rights and gender equality are always important topics to learn about, days such as International Women’s Day are opportunities for more focused education and awareness.

Last night’s showdown at the Mississauga Cricket League finals had everyone on the edge of their seats as Ace Acumen Academy went head-to-head with the Fallingbrook Falcons. Amongst the eleven competing teams, Ace Acumen received an admirable second place. The match was a rollercoaster of excitement, with both teams displaying impressive skills and sportsmanship. Their performance not only entertained the spectators but also set a high bar for future competitions. Hats off to both teams for delivering an unforgettable night of cricket action!

February 20th, 2024 marked a significant milestone as the 56th annual convocation unfolded at the prestigious Meridian Arts Center in North York.

Additionally, Ace Acumen Academy celebrated a momentous achievement as they welcomed their 10,000th graduate, Manisha, who successfully completed the Computer Systems Technician – Networking program. However, the occasion was bittersweet as it also marked the final convocation ceremony for St. Clair College President, Dr. Patti France.
