support there for you as you challenge yourself [Music] acknowledge new skills new challenges new victories build the relationships that will help you rise in the friendships that will keep you grounded changing the world starts with you at Algonquin College the future you want is yours to make Algonquin College changing lives [Music] greetings everyone and welcome to the 2023 convocation ceremonies of Algonquin College my name is Michael desotel and I will be the knowledge keeper for tonight's ceremony uh just by way of introduction I'm a made He-Man with Ojibwe Heritage from Manitoba and I spent most of my adult life working in the area of Rights for indigenous peoples so I want to share a story with you that I've already shared with the graduates so you can talk about it afterwards um and then ask a favor of you so many of you will know of Murray Sinclair Murray Sinclair was a the first indigenous judge in the province of Manitoba he was a senator but he was also the chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and recommended two Canadians things that they could do to make a difference in the lives of indigenous peoples and ask for their participation I've worked with Murray on several different projects in several different occasions and it's been a big great pleasure I was at an event that he hosted in Ottawa about five years ago where there was a room of people maybe only slightly smaller than the number of people in this room and he said to them I want you to think about a six-year-old in your life that person doesn't have to be 60 years old right now because it can be a memory and it can be a family member it could be a friend it could be someone you know and then I want you to think about what it is what is it about that six-year-old that makes me happy what is about that six-year-old that makes me proud what is about that six-year-old that makes me love them the way that I do and if you can imagine it think about how you would feel if someone were to take that six years old six-year-old away from you and send them off to a school where you wouldn't see them and the reason they sent them to that school is because they don't want them to grow up to be like you they don't want children to grow up to be in in their indigenous tradition now the reason that successive Federal governments have been able to get away with this kind of behavior including missing murdered indigenous women and girls including boil water advisories on more than 100 First Nation communities they get away with it because they can there's not a political price to be paid they don't lose any votes people don't get upset and as indigenous people we've been in this struggle since first Contact and we seem to have a little bit of momentum going now with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission the public inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and more people are aware than they used to be 10 years ago so what my ask is of you is to engage in putting some political pressure on the decision makers in this country I let them know that it's not okay anymore you can't continue to get away with this anymore there has to be Justice and there has to be fairness so all I'm asking is that you know Google Truth and Reconciliation you will be fined any number of things that you can do that are most appropriate for you and together we can change the world and make a difference for indigenous people in this country thank you as guests Algonquin College acknowledges today's convocation ceremony is taking place on unseated Algonquin traditional territory and uh so in recognition of this our graduate procession will be accompanied by members of the spiritual singers using the traditional languages of the anishinaabeg people their song offers a message of incurrent encouragement and the powerful beat of the drum represents the heartbeat of our mother earth guests families and friends may I ask you to please stand as you are

entire College Community can show their appreciation to you it's going to be a great evening I can tell well thank you very much to family and friends for your support of our graduates there is another group of people here today who are very proud of you and your achievement I would like to personally thank all of our employees our faculty support staff and administration at Algonquin College for their role in your journey I want to especially thank faculty for their part in getting you to the successful completion of your program of study your teachers have prepared you to be entrepreneurial and to thrive on change and be resilient and resilient you have been especially after living through the historical Public Health Emergency that we've all experienced over the past three years and the impact it has had on the learning environment and in the workplace your teachers have also helped you to develop the capacity to Pivot with agility to take calculated risks and to do so with imagination to capitalize on the many possibilities that await you and we know that the world that you're entering upon graduation as its share of challenges socially economically politically environmentally and you may feel it's more difficult than ever to recognize the opportunities on the horizon and we must also continue to acknowledge the consequences of our past and work to be better allies to indigenous peoples in our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation as well as be better allies to people of color and those who are marginalized through our commitment to inclusion diversity equity and accessibility but if history has taught us anything and it's that with great adversity and challenges also come incredible opportunities and that's what ultimately brings out the best in people and remember too you're not alone on this journey you are now part of a community of more than 220 000 Algonquin College alumni and the alumni and Friends Network offers you opportunities for you to stay connected so as you embark on the next chapter of your journey I hope that all of you will seek to reach out your full potential in your career and in your life Pursuits but what does it mean to reach your full potential we often hear the term but do we ever pause to really think about it does it mean your physical potential like an athlete or your emotional or intellectual potential in my opinion The Sweet Spot of full potential is the intersection of all three for me reaching my full potential man to desire to leave the place where I grew up and explore the bigger possibilities that I knew and felt were out there challenge myself and to see what life had to offer beyond my familiar surroundings and so at the age of 17 I joined the Canadian Forces I left home I traveled to another Province and I began to study engineering physics my time in the military taught me many valuable lessons about self-discipline learning to problem solve leadership and in particular finding balance between assertiveness and humility it was a chance for me to see our greater country and explore the world and after 22 years of service I was ready for a different kind of challenge and that's when I joined Algonquin College my journey from that of a 17 year old young man leaving home to this Podium today has not been without its own challenges and sacrifices when I was a student just like you nothing came too easily for me I discovered early on that I would have to work hard ER than many of my peers to achieve good grades and find success along the way I also discovered that every experience I encountered were filled with learning opportunities there were many times when I did not achieve my desired goals upon first attempts and the path that I thought I should be following they changed as a result you know it's all part of the journey coming to understand that your potential is there to be unlocked and there's always another door waiting to be open and new experiences that will enrich your life as you embark on your own Journey and remember to keep an open mind stay curious never be afraid or Too Proud to ask for help and do venture out of your comfort zone when I attended this year's colleges and institutes Canada conference in Montreal I was impressed by what keynote speaker Wes Hall had to say about living to your potential you see he speaks from experience as a man who rose from a Jamaican Plantation Shack to the boardrooms of Bay Street to become an accomplished businessman an author an inclusivity advocate and the founder of the black North initiative he said never wait never wait for perfect to do what you want to do or what you're passionate about if it's the right thing to do don't wait for the perfect time to do it do it now graduates I stand before you with pride and confidence in your potential I encourage you to stay true to your aspiration and don't let adversity hinder your progress instead use your education and the experiences that you've gained at Algonquin College as your compass to overcome those challenges and Forge a path towards a future that is truly remarkable in closing graduates I offer you my most sincere congratulations and I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors the world awaits your talent and your tenacity and I have no doubt that in reaching your full potential you will surpass even Your Wildest Dream thank you Miguel merci [Applause] president roulet for your thoughtful remarks and words of wisdom to the graduates we now proceed with the conferral of an honorary

choose your futures you get to determine what you want to contribute to your communities and the world around you you're going to make your successes happen in the same way that many of us have made ours it's an exciting and maybe even a daunting time as you create your future people like me are going to give you all kinds of advice things to think about we're going to share our experiences and hope that some of the things we've learned along the way may be useful to you I'm going to offer you some of that advice now but with a note in the fine print make your own path pay attention to your gut instincts mistakes are learning opportunities own them appreciate them and then move on and know that you already have the tools within you to forge your own path for what it may be worth or here are a few things you might want to consider believe in yourself there's only one you be your authentic self say Yes you heard this earlier from president brulee say yes to things that take you out of your comfort zone it's where you'll learn the most and it's also where you'll surprise yourself at how adaptable and resilient you are it's where the greatest opportunities happen and it's also where you'll gain the most personal growth and satisfaction learn that no is a complete sentence set your boundaries so that you remain true to yourself this is one I personally like imposter syndrome is something many of us have experienced and you may experience that along the way as well discomfort is okay but remember this there's no such thing as imposter syndrome it's a construct and it's made to hold you back don't let it a special shout out to the women and diverse individuals in this room you will have to work harder than your male counterparts you will have to fight for recognition you'll have to fight for Equal Pay of work for work of equal value in some cases and so many of us have spent a lifetime working to change this we're not quite there yet but we will be take the Baton from us and keep running until we collectively get there and we will get there find a way to participate in and contribute to your community you will get back so much more than you give and finally don't let anyone tell you that you can't you can you can achieve the life you want both personally and professionally with hard work and perseverance it takes grit authenticity resilience fortitude Clarity commitment passion compassion gratitude and a willingness to be a lifelong learner everyone and every situation has something to teach us class of 2023 go out there and do you be bold be brave create the future that you want for yourselves make our communities and our world better and to quote LL Cool J dreams don't have deadlines we can't wait to see what you do thank you thank you Deirdre

exams and unexpected hurdles but with determination and what some may call a few too many cups of coffee we started our Ascent towards our goals as we reflect on our time here at Algonquin we realize that although each one of us has faced a unique mountain with its own set of obstacles and hurdles We Stand Together United in our shared determination and resilience though we have stumbled we have always found the strength to get back up and continue the climb but by conquering our respective mountains we not only gain Knowledge and Skills but also discovered our own capabilities we prove to ourselves that we can achieve Great Heights even when the past seems insurmountable today as we stand Atop The Summit let us celebrate the diverse Journeys we have undertaken while our mountains differed our struggles were equally significant through shared triumphs and tribulations we have grown as individuals and as a community but as we cherish this moment let us remember that life is but a series of mountains waiting to be conquered this Summit is a milestone not the Final Destination we must approach the next mountain with the same tenacity pageant and hunger for excesses as we bid farewell to Algonquin College and embark on our own individual paths remember that the mountain ahead may be challenging but we have proven time and time again that we have what it takes to reach the
