Sault College is excited to announce its upcoming annual Scholarship Breakfast, hosted in partnership with Algoma Steel, featuring renowned mental health advocate, broadcaster, and speaker Michael Landsberg. The event, in support of Sault College’s student-athletes, will take place on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 7:30 a.m. at the Quattro Hotel. Tickets are now available and can be purchased for $60/person at the Athletics Office or by emailing athletics@saultcollege.ca. Full tables are available for purchase.

Landsberg, a celebrated former host of TSN’s Off the Record and the founder of the mental health initiative #SickNotWeak, brings a powerful message of resilience, awareness, and hope.
