NEWS AND UPDATES
Centennial College Alumni Association Update
June 23, 2025 Toronto, ON
We are writing to share an important update regarding the Centennial College Alumni Association (CCAA).
On Monday, June 16, 2025, we received a formal letter from Centennial College(the College) informing us that it intends to assume responsibility for coordinating alumni engagement in the future.
The Centennial College Alumni Association (CCAA) is an incorporated not-for-for profit, governed under the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, meaning that it is a separate and distinct entity. As you may be aware, the CCAA and the College have an existing services agreement, in which the College provides support services in exchange for the CCAA facilitating alumni engagement. The College has signaled that it intends to end that agreement, and intends to lead all alumni engagement efforts.
The CCAA has always been dedicated to supporting and connecting our alumni community, fostering a space for shared experiences, and celebrating the ongoing achievements of our graduates. We will continue to prioritize the needs and interests of our members and remain deeply invested in strengthening the bond that unites us all.
As we navigate through this time, we want to assure you that CCAA as a whole, works diligently to ensure that your voice remains heard and valued. We welcome all members to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns. Your input will help guide the future direction of the alumni experience and ensure that the legacy of the College and its alumni continues to grow, not only within the College, but across the broader alumni community.
We are here for you, and we will keep you updated on any further developments as we continue this journey together.
With warm regards,
Justin Paolo Lim
CCAA President and Board Chair
