Acknowledging the Territory

We acknowledge that the land that Fleming College is on, is the traditional territory of the Michi Saagig Anishnaabe, people of the North shore of Lake Ontario and its tributaries. Fleming College Campus locations are covered by eighteen treaties and agreements that the Michi Saagig Anishnaabe participated in from 1781 to 1923.

Fleming College has settled on this land and recognizes that the region is now home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and the importance of respecting the voices and history of Indigenous communities. We are grateful to work on this land and will continue to build authentic and reciprocal relationships.

Fleming News and Success

Special Air Quality Statement

Peterborough, ON (June 7, 2023) - The safety of students and staff is the top priority for Fleming College.

Environment Canada has issued a Special Air Quality statement for the Peterborough Region as smoke plumes from forest fires in Quebec and northeastern Ontario has resulted in deteriorated air quality.

Current Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) values for the Peterborough Region are currently high risk. For the general population, the Government of Canada is suggesting considering reducing or rescheduling strenuous activities outdoors if you experience symptoms such as coughing and throat irritation. For the at-risk population, consider reducing or rescheduling strenuous activities outdoors if you are experiencing symptoms. Find out if you are at risk. If you have health related questions, please contact your healthcare provider.

Students studying outside, in programs such as Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training, Arboriculture and Urban Forestry should consider wearing a mask, such as an KN95, for added protection. Masks are available upon request through facilities@flemingcollege.ca .

Fleming College will continue to work with our local public health partners to monitor the air quality and introduce additional safety measures if required. Portable air purifiers are deployed in specific areas to help enhance ventilation of indoor spaces if needed.

Please review more Environment Canada tips on how you can protect yourself from wildfire smoke:

• For relief, go to places in the community with clean, cool air.
• Reduce or stop activities if you experience symptoms.
• Check on vulnerable loved ones and people around you who may be more susceptible to smoke.
• Reduce sources of indoor air pollution. If you can, avoid smoking or vaping indoors, frying foods, burning incense or candles, vacuuming, and using wood stoves. Dust on indoor surfaces can be removed by wiping and wet mopping.

Fleming College Announces Mai Dong, Owner and Chef of Rare Restaurant, as 2023 Alumna of Distinction Recipient

Peterborough, ON (June 7, 2023) - Fleming College is proud to announce Mai Dong, Owner and Chef of Rare Culinary Arts Studio in Peterborough, as the recipient of the 2023 Alumna of Distinction award. This award recognizes outstanding alumni who have made significant contributions in their professional field and communities.

Mai Dong graduated from Fleming College's Culinary Management program in 2022. In just one year since graduating, Mai has built a thriving career in the restaurant industry, with her flagship restaurant Rare in Peterborough earning critical acclaim and rave reviews from food lovers.

Rare Culinary Arts Studio was established by Tyler Scott, who graduated from Fleming College's Co-op Diploma Apprenticeship, Culinary program in 2011 and was recognized as the Alumnus of Distinction in 2022. He was honoured with the award at Mai’s Convocation Ceremony in June 2022 and his acceptance speech inspired 22-year-old Mai, who sat excitedly listening to Tyler’s story.

She went home and researched Rare and the legacy of providing hyper-local food and quality service to the Peterborough community.
Shortly after hearing Tyler speak, Mai reached out and visited Rare saying, “The moment I walked into the restaurant, I fell in love with the space and I knew in my heart that this is what I was looking for.”

She took over the restaurant on her 23rd birthday, along with her business partner Chef Andrew Lewin.

Mai’s passion for food and dedication to quality has earned her a reputation as a leading chef in the region. She has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades, including winning a gold medal at the Skills Ontario Competition and a silver medal at the Skills Canada National Competition in 2022.

In addition to her contributions to the culinary arts, Mai is also a passionate community advocate. She has organized charity events and donated her time and resources to support local causes, including the YWCA Crossroads Shelter and Kawartha Food Share.

"Mai Dong is an inspiring alumna who has made a significant impact in her industry and community in a short period of time," said Maureen Adamson, President of Fleming College. "Her dedication to her craft and commitment to giving back are a testament to the values of Fleming College. We are proud to recognize her with the Alumna of Distinction award."

Mai will be honoured at the 2023 Convocation ceremony, where she will deliver the keynote address to the graduating class. The ceremony will take place on June 9, 2023, at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre.
