She later helped to secure additional funding for these initiatives including $262,000 in direct support for the Centre for Climate Change Management through the federal government’s Climate Action Fund. She continues to be a friend of the college and recently showed her support for Canadian Colleges for a Resilient Recovery by recording a special welcome message for the consortium’s inaugural meeting. Prior to entering politics, Catherine practiced corporate, trade and anti-trust law at leading firms in Canada and Indonesia, worked as lead negotiator on the Timor Sea Treaty with the UN Peacekeeping Mission to East Timor and founded Canadian Lawyers Abroad (now Level Justice). She is called to the Bars of New York and Ontario. She is a mother to three kids and an avid open water swimmer.

THE COLLEGE Mohawk College has grown to be one of Canada’s leading colleges. Mohawk’s history began in 1947 with the establishment of the Provincial Institute of Textiles which was transformed into the Hamilton Institute of Technology (HIT) in 1957. Ten years later, in 1967, the HIT was incorporated as the newly established Mohawk College, one of 24 Ontario colleges. Today, Mohawk College proudly delivers a quality education and college experience to over 30,000 full-time, part-time, continuing education and apprenticeship students. Mohawk is the region’s prime job creating engine, having transformed more than 165,000 graduates into highly skilled and future ready graduates who are driving tomorrow’s opportunities.
THE LIRIPIPE The liripipe is a European medieval symbol of academic achievement dating back to the 8th century. It marks the achievement of excellence according to each student’s chosen program and symbolizes their membership into the international community of scholars.
