Cégep Granby and Portage College have each launched new programming for the Fall semester. Cégep Granby will be launching the ALC+ program path, which will focus on personal growth. Students in the program will participate in extracurricular activities such as cultural events, creative projects, artistic collaborations, and sports or community activities. Portage has launched the Addictions Counselling Diploma, which will provide students with the theory and practical learning they need to support those with addictions. “The need for more addictions counsellors in northeast Alberta is something that I have been hearing loud and clear from the partners in our region,” said Portage President Nancy Broadbent.
