Sudbury Catholic principal, Cassandra MacGregor, was asked to be the keynote speaker at a Laurentian University event recently. As part of the Community Stars Celebration, MacGregor was asked to address students in the concurrent education program to speak to the importance of connecting to community in the education field. This event was an information fair for the students, and MacGregor was asked to speak as a principal who is making a difference in the community. Reflecting on her past experience as principal of St. Albert Adult Learning Centre, her lecture, Connecting to Community, spoke to the importance of building positive relationships with community organizations, and the positive outcomes from creating these connections. Students were encouraged to seek out these alliances as they allow for better opportunities for students and schools alike. As well as the keynote address, the Laurentian University students also visited several booths and displays set up by numerous community organizations that support their learning and the community as a whole.
