NEWS AND UPDATES
Centennial College Alumni Association Update
Toronto, ON
It is with profound regret that the CCAA must announce that it is ceasing operations as the alumni association of Centennial College, effective immediately. The CCAA will no longer promote or organize events, services, or any other activities, with the exception of the Alumni Association Graduation Ball 2026 scheduled for April 25, 2026 and the “Alumni VIP Day” at the Blue Jays baseball game on May 8, 2026, which will serve as our final event. The CCAA will begin the legal process of winding up the organization under the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, with a view towards dissolving the CCAA later this year, and intends to raise this matter for action at the next Member’s meeting scheduled on May 21, 2026.
