To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Centennial College, I was one of over 15,000 Centennial College students, staff, alumni and partners that participated in ‘Paint the Town Green’ around the world. Together, we have cleaned up beaches and planted trees in 11 parks in Toronto and 14 cities (8 countries). See us in action – watch the video!
We are so proud of Centennial College for bringing us together in this significant event to educate people about the environment and global citizenship.
“In my opinion, "Paint the Town Green" is the most meaningful event that I have ever participated in.” says Pham Thi Dai Trang, one of the future Centennial College students that participated in the event in Hai Phong, Vietnam.”
