Today I took our Colombian colleagues to Niagara, where we had lunch in the Niagara College training restaurant (one thing I do miss at Seneca where we do not offer culinary programs). In the early morning we visited the famous waterfalls (they made many photos but I forgot...; I have been there too many times). Afterwards we had a tour of the wetlands behind the NOTL campus of NC where students from the eco-system restoration program work diligently on bringing back certain eco systems. Very interesting for our Colombian visitors + thanks to Team NC!
The day before we had the Colombians visit Durham College where they have a specific water treatment technician program. This shows them how we complement programming between the colleges in Ontario (also thanks to Team Durham for hosting them!).
Very interesting to also always see how the colleges work with indigenous communities in making sure that our work is inclusive and respectful as much as we can. After the NC visit we visited one of the regional water treatment plants and the Colombians did some shopping in an outlet mall...
Two more days with our Colombian colleagues and hopefully they go home with impressions and comparisons which they can further elaborate on.
