Australia's Education Fuels Canada Ties: Toronto Alumni Gather

Australia's High Commissioner to Canada, Her Excellency Kate Logan, recently addressed the role of education in fostering bilateral relations between the two nations. The event, held in Toronto, was the first major alumni gathering since the pandemic and highlighted the global impact of Australia's international education sector.

Over 70 professionals, representing 12 Australian universities and diverse industries, attended the event. Among them were Fiona Toohey, Second Secretary at the Australian High Commission in Ottawa and an alumna of the University of Queensland, and Shelley Jackson, Australia's new Consul General (Trade & Investment) in Toronto. The gathering celebrated the success of Australia's international graduates in their global careers.

The event showcased the skills, global outlook, and leadership qualities that international students gain through studying in Australia. It also demonstrated the long-term benefits these students bring back to their home countries, contributing to bilateral relations and driving global connections.

Plans are now underway to expand these alumni celebrations to Vancouver, further reinforcing the impact of Australia's international education as a driver of global connections. The event in Toronto served as a testament to the enduring strength of the Australia-Canada relationship, with education playing a pivotal role in its growth.
