Dear Members of the Carleton Community,

I am proud to announce that Carleton University will receive three certifications from Excellence Canada – Platinum Level in Healthy Workplace and Silver Level in Mental Health at Work (campus-wide initiatives), as well as Gold Level in Excellence, Innovation and Wellness (Finance and Administration division).

We are the first post-secondary institution in Canada to achieve all three accomplishments and this is a proud moment for us. This is formal recognition of Carleton’s commitment to continuous improvement and dedication to providing a safe, healthy and supportive work environment on our campus.

The awards will be presented on Thursday, Nov. 9 at the Performance Excellence Summit and Canada Awards for Excellence in Toronto.

Special congratulations should be extended to Michel Piché, Ed Kane and Cindy Taylor for their leadership in this process.

Yours sincerely,

Alastair Summerlee
President and Vice-Chancellor
