Halloween 2021

On October 31, in Canada every year people dress up in spooky costumes, go door to door to “trick” or “treat”, watch Halloween movies, and carve jack-o-lanterns to participate in Halloween. This year, the staff and students at Ace Acumen participated in those same ways. They dressed up in costumes, carved pumpkins and watched a Halloween movie with some Halloween treats!

Towards the end of the day, both staff and students who dressed up in costume took part in a show for students to vote on who had the best costume on. Great prizes were distributed to those who were voted as ‘best costume’.

Ace Acumen wishes all a very Happy Halloween!

Remembrance Day

Thursday, November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada. 
 
This is an important day in history that we want to spread awareness about to all of our students.
 
This is a day where we remember our fallen soldiers who have fought and died in the line of duty.
These people gave their lives fighting, to allow us to live our lives the way we do today.
We take this day to remember and honour them, and respect their sacrifice.
 
In your classes on this day, at 11:00 am, students and staff took a moment of silence, to reflect, and remember. 
 
Please see the attachment below for further information if you are interested in learning more about Remembrance Day, and the video to learn about the poppy and its significance. 
 

Thank you everyone, and stay safe.
Lest We Forget

Vaccination Guidelines for On-Campus Teaching and Learning Activities –…

St. Clair College at Ace Acumen strongly encourages all individuals to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations as soon as they are eligible. Please note that the following is subject to change as the pandemic evolves and as new information becomes available.

St. Clair College at Ace Acumen will follow public health and government guidance related to COVID-19 safety protocols and measures. Due to the severity and extent of the most recent upward trend in COVID-19 occurrence and transmission, St. Clair College at Ace Acumen will be mandating vaccinations or regular testing for all staff and students. St Clair College at Ace Acumen will request that our staff and students voluntarily disclose their vaccination status. Additional information will be forthcoming once the policy is finalized by the end of the week. There will be a section within the policy describing exclusionary grounds for unvaccinated individuals: health difficulties substantiated by a qualified medical practitioner, including allergy to the vaccine(s); and other grounds covered by the Ontario Human Rights Code; or for those who wish to not disclose. Arrangements will be made for such individuals to receive self-administered “rapid testing” for COVID-19 twice weekly and report their results.

Please be advised that St. Clair College at Ace Acumen’s third-party partners (e.g. placement agencies, co-op employers and service providers) may have different standards and COVID-19 safety measures in place. St. Clair College at Ace Acumen has no oversight over its partners’ standards and COVID-19 safety measures. Compliance with those standards and COVID-19 safety measures will be the responsibility of the student.

Fun with Advisors Episode 5

As your student advisors, we want you to know that we are here to help you as always. But at the end of the day, you may be wondering who really is the person behind the screen: and yes, that is the reason why we bring you one of our original series: Fun with Advisors.

In this week’s video, we are glad to have our Associate Campus Director at the Toronto campus, Danielle Drouin, joining us to share her experience at St. Clair College at Ace Acumen Academy. Danielle is not a typical student advisor – she’s actually the advisor of student advisors. She is the one we report to. In this video, you will find that Danielle is such an easygoing and nice person; however, she also sends all the warning letters to students who need to be alerted: so many times Danielle had to play the “bad cop” role. According to Danielle, that wasn’t an easy thing to do! So without any further ado, let’s hear what the boss has to say!

National Indigenous Heritage Month

Hello Saints,
June commemorates National Indigenous Heritage Month. This is a time for everyone to reflect upon and learn the history, cultures, contributions, and strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people. Indigenous Peoples need to celebrate their history because doing so helps to stop the loss and grow their cultures. Celebrating their history invigorates pride in being Indigenous and maintains the preservation of their cultures, protocols, spirituality, traditions, and languages. 
 
See the poster (Read Here) for some more information about Indigenous heritage month!
