Our cover:

Jon Montgomery’s career is a great example of the many pathways Georgian students and alumni can explore to achieve success. The Vancouver 2010 Olympic champion and host of The Amazing Race Canada graduated from Georgian’s Automotive Business School of Canada in 2000. In fact, it was a co-op at an automotive auction house in Calgary that first led him to the skeleton program at Canada Olympic Park.

Everything at Georgian was really amazing. The infrastructure, the teachers, the library – it definitely helped me to feel well hosted. People were always so kind to me and pleased to help with everything. My experience was really special, because I left my country, family and friends, to go to another place, with another language, and somehow it still felt like home. It was an amazing time, and I met so many amazing people!
