Peterborough ON – (May 5, 2022) – Fleming College came together to celebrate outstanding employees on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, for the second annual Spotlight Awards.

The Spotlight Awards showcase just a few of Fleming’s employees who inspire and motivate others and who contribute to Fleming’s culture of inclusivity and innovation. This year, more than 51 nominations were put forward by colleagues eager to see their coworkers honoured in five distinct categories.
