  • Impact Report
    IMPACT REPORT JANUARY 2019 LEGACY GALA DINNER They say there is no better way to learn than to try it, and that is exactly what our students receive as an Assiniboine Community College student. Our annual Foundation Gala dinner treats guests to an eight-course meal carefully prepared by our Culinary Arts students and a unique wine pairing specially chosen to compliment that course by our Hotel and Restaurant Management students. It truly is a one-of-a-kind evening held at our Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts building. The 2018 dinner raised approximately $43,000 thanks to our guests and sponsors. Money from the event, held last March, will support Indigenous students. We look forward to another culinary delight in March 2019. Our Foundation Board is directing proceeds from the upcoming dinner to the creation of scholarships and bursaries for students in the Early Childhood Education program. Helping a student attend college has a profound, lifelong impact and financial assistance allows students to concentrate on their studies. 2 DONOR PROFILE KOCH DONATES $200K OF STEEL TO ASSINIBOINE Welding students at Assiniboine Community College are benefiting from excellent learning opportunities provided by Koch Fertilizer Canada’s donation of nearly $200,000 worth of steel. “This donation helped students gain “I thought Jimmy (McGhie) could do good experience in welding a variety of different things with the material to aid in the stainless steel products not normally development of our next generation of welded in the school environment,” welders.
