Meet Ciara 👋

“The time has gone by so quickly,” says Ciara, 17, who left her hometown of Sault Ste. Marie in September and started at Cambrian College in Sudbury in the Emergency Services Communications program. “I’m excited to start, to stay in residence and meet new people.”

A passionate music and movie fan (the Fast and Furious series is high on her list), she also loves going four-wheeling with her dad and fishing with the family.

Now, she’s ready for college, looking forward to the fun she’ll have on her new adventure, as well the impact she hopes to make through the emergency communications program.
