Community Participation

Community events are wonderful opportunities to for us to participate and give our time, energy and expertise. They are also excellent opportunities to network with other professionals who work with children and youth. Participation in any community event would be completely voluntary on the student’s part. Volunteer experience can be added to your CYC resume. 

If you are interesting in community participation opportunities please contact David Connolly at david.connolly@senecacollege.ca

2024 Chippewas of Georgina Island Powwow

The Chippewas of Georgina Island held their annual Pow Wow at Sutton District High School on September 28 and 29. The theme this year was Nawendwin Relations, honoring the connection between people and nature specifically wildlife. A group of Seneca faculty and students attended the Saturday and took in the wonderful sights and sounds of drumming, dancing, First Nations owned food and craft vendors. It was also an opportunity to promote cultural understanding. For many of us it was the first time attending a pow wow.

2024 Coldest Night of the Year

The Seneca Polytechnic Child and Youth Care team took part in the 2024 Coldest Night of the Year. This was our team's 2nd year participating in the family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving individuals and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. This year Seneca CYC students and faculty raised a whopping $3067.02 for Blue Door surpassing last year's total of $1760.
This year's team consisted of 5 faculty, 19 students and 4 CYC family and friends. It was wonderful to have such a large group representing Seneca and CYC.
A huge thank you to all of our team members!
