Beausoleil First Nation Student Nutrition Program Provides Youth with a Healthy Start
Chigamik and Beausoleil First Nation Education Department partner to offer Breakfast N’ Boats Midland, Ontario – April 23, 2018 – Centre de santé communautaire CHIGAMIK Community Health Centre (CSC CHIGAMIK CHC) is pleased to announce that they have partnered with the Beausoleil First Nation (BFN) Education Department to provide nutritional support for youth attending high school. The new program called Breakfast N’ Boats, offers Beausoleil First Nation youth on Christian Island who attend high school, a healthy breakfast container at no cost on the morning ferry ride. “The Breakfast N’ Boats program is very complimentary to our BFN school lunch program for our secondary students, administered at their respective schools. Many morning students are rushed to make the 7:30 am ferry departure time and some don’t take the time to eat in the mornings. This is one less thing the students have to worry about,” said Sylvia NortonSutherland, Beausoleil First Nation Student Support Worker. A two-year study, Feeding Our
Future, released by the Toronto District School Board shows the significant role a nutritious breakfast plays in academic success. The study found those who were fed properly had improved marks and better behavior. It demonstrated numerous benefits resulting from eating morning meals including improved student behaviour or attitude; reduced tardiness; reduced incidence of disciplinary problems; and improved ability to stay on task. “Making the connection between what we eat and academic achievement is one of the most important lessons youth can learn when it comes to healthy eating,” said Alex King, Food Access Worker, CSC Chigamik CHC. “All youth deserve a fair shot at success and good nutrition plays such an important role. We are so pleased to partner with the BFN Education Department and are thankful for their support. Our ultimate goal is to help more young people get the support they need to graduate from high school and build a future full of potential.” For more information about the Breakfast N’ Boats program, please contact Alex King at 705-527-4154 x253.

One in four employees at Innovative Automation is a Georgian College graduate. In recognition – and celebration – of how important the college is to training his workforce, company president Steve Loftus announced he and his partners are investing $250,000 in Georgian’s new Advanced Technology, Innovation and Research Centre (ATIRC) that will open in September on the Barrie Campus. Loftus made the announcement alongside co-owners Michael Lalonde and Matthew Setterington at a think tank of local advanced manufacturers at Georgian on April 5. Setterington is an alumnus of Georgian’s Mechanical Engineering Technology program and Loftus was once a Georgian student. “To continue to lead in the new global economy, the required skill level of our staff has to increase,” said Loftus. “Innovative Automation is looking to our partnership with Georgian, including combined degree-diplomas with Lakehead, to meet our growing needs.” Earlier this year, Innovative Automation celebrated the grand opening of its new 62,500-square-foot facility on Welham Road in Barrie. The company is currently recruiting 29 new innovators to join the team. Georgian College President and CEO MaryLynn West-Moynes is optimistic that many of those new jobs will be filled by Georgian grads and that Georgian grads will continue to drive growth at Innovative Automation. In the ATIRC, students will take part in research and innovation collaborations where academia and industry will develop, incubate, test and commercialize products that will strengthen and diversify the regional economy. “Innovative Automation is a forward-thinking business that understands that research and innovation are essential economic drivers,” said West-Moynes. “We are so thankful for their continued support. Their donation will play a critical role in helping to strengthen research and innovation in our region, which over time will drive prosperity and improve our competitive position.” The ATIRC will be home to Simcoe County’s first degrees in electrical engineering, and environmental sustainability offered by Georgian in partnership with Lakehead University. Students will graduate job-ready with both a diploma and a degree – the best of a college and university education – in just four years. Innovative Automation is a long-time Georgian College supporter. For almost two decades, the company has donated gifts-in-kind of equipment for hands-on student learning and has provided industry representation on program advisory committees. It also sponsors the Georgian College Golf Classic to raise funds for awards and scholarships.
