…. “Of the many courses offered at the Chef's
School at George Brown College, the Italian cuisine programme is one of the most popular. Heck, part of it is taught in Italy - what's not
to love about that? For the second year, the school has opened its doors to the public in a week-long festival of Italian food and culture. Events
included tastings, dinners, demonstrations and a gala tasting event that was held this past Thursday evening that featured chefs from both Italy

““For someone with vision loss, being in a museum is like being in a black box if there are no experiences,” says

… “Colleges have a large range of programs that can lead to careers in the trades. These programs provide students
with marketable skills, and are typically less expensive than attending university. Graduates are career-ready and are generally offered support
in finding field placements or apprenticeships. With an ever-expanding array of programs to choose from, it can seem difficult to narrow down
the choices. However, there are resources designed to help. Some schools, such as George Brown College, offer introductory skilled trades courses
so students can get a feel for which trade they may want to pursue. George Brown’s Construction Trades Techniques Program consists of three
