This summer we continued our annual tradition of welcoming post-secondary students to HIROC, with our largest group joining us yet. 

We at HIROC value having a diverse group of students join the team each summer. 

“Our summer students offer a great deal of insight, fresh perspectives, and bring with them a great deal of energy,” added HIROC CEO Catherine Gaulton. “We appreciate all they do in supporting the team, but more importantly, we’re delighted to play a role in their ongoing learning.”
