Welcome to Canterbury College! Thank you for visiting our vibrant, growing community of students and staff dedicated to educating mind, body and spirit.
Canterbury is proud to provide incoming students with a dedicated staff to support their educational journey. Each of our staff works diligently to ensure that problems are solved quickly and correctly, information is shared widely and in accessible ways, and the infrastructure we provide works well and effectively. We strive to provide not only comfortable and well equipped residences, but an opportunity for students to build lasting relationships and supportive community for the time they spend on campus and beyond. To that end, we are excited to offer regular opportunities for student interactions (community meals, pop up cafes, spiritual groups, recreational activities, etc), as well as community spaces where students can enjoy some downtime and get to know one another.
We are first and foremost here to learn, and we at Canterbury believe that an encouraging and engaging community goes a long way in supporting individual excellence in education. The University experience is more than just grades and course selections – the relationships we establish and build during this time are opportunities for personal growth now and in the future.
As Principal, I am here to assist in a variety of areas and I am happy to meet and chat with you whenever I am on campus (generally Tues-Thurs). My focus over the coming year is to facilitate opportunities for students and the greater community to get to know Canterbury and one another through a variety of workshops, courses, and special events all connected to understanding more deeply who we are as human beings in community together. At its heart, this new learning program seeks to be inclusive and welcoming, highlights local Windsor/Essex academics and professionals, and honours and affirms the principles of Truth and Reconciliation.
Peace, Jennifer Boyes-Garbin
