Did you know that
Centennial College published two special books to mark the college's 50th
anniversary this fall? We are delighted to offer for purchase the books that
were unveiled at our Fifty Years Bolder celebration on October 28. This is your
opportunity to acquire these fabulous books! All proceeds from their sale will
be directed towards our 50th Anniversary Scholarship Fund to benefit Centennial
students.
No Parrots in Space! is a children’s book that celebrates
Centennial’s 50 years of fostering learning experiences, inspiring creativity
and opening doors. Story Arts Centre students, working alumni, faculty and
staff joined together in an experiential learning journey to create this
compelling story.
This beautifully illustrated children's story features Ali, who learns from his
new classmate, Neelu, that life is richer when everyone is open to new ideas.
Ali’s transition from excluding to including underlines Centennial’s mission as
a place of learning that promotes diversity and inclusivity. This book makes a
great holiday gift for youngsters on your list!
$10 each (includes taxes)
Fifty Years Bolder is the title of our commemorative 50th
anniversary coffee-table book, chock full of photos that chronicle Centennial's
growth as the province's first College of Applied Arts and Technology,
established by former Education Minister Bill Davis in 1966. The book takes you
on a journey from our humble beginnings in a mothballed factory on Warden
Avenue, through the smoky haze of the 1970s, the success of cooperative
Business programs in the 1980s, and the expansion of the Centennial College
brand worldwide in the 2000s.
Enjoy the 230 carefully
selected photos (96-page book) that tell our story and document our phenomenal growth over six
distinct decades. The book includes reminiscences by Justice Marvin Zuker,
Richard Johnston, Dave Samalea and Ann Buller. This nicely bound hardcover book
is a keepsake that will grace your bookshelf for years to come.
$25 each (includes taxes)
