I highly recommend this experience. The SEE Canada Grant provides a unique opportunity to travel across Canada and learn from other institutions.

I would absolutely recommend this experience to other employees. I was able to visit places I’ve never been to before and the experience I’ve gained will be beneficial to my role and my department...

We’re able to learn, network, and build working relationships that complement our roles and allow us to advance our skills. The benefits of this experience will resonate with me for many years to come in my career and beyond...

I would highly recommend this experience to other staff. It’s an opportunity to get out of the office and break out of your routine. It’s also a fantastic way to meet other colleagues and build new professional connections. This is an experience I will always treasure and the impact of what I learned will resonate for many terms to come!

I would absolutely recommend this experience to other employees. I am so appreciative of the time and resources I was awarded for this opportunity. I would have needed to attend several professional development opportunities/conferences to match the volume and variety of roles and teams I was able to connect with and learn from. To date, I have already reached out to some of those contacts to discuss projects I am working on. These connections are invaluable
