The Centre for Resilience, Learning & Growth provides a safe space to grow and build a sense of community. With a focus on whole-person learning, we encourage each member of our community to bring their whole self to the learning experience. For us, learning is a place where each of us has an opportunity to gain insight, build understanding, and strengthen our relationships. A place where each person feels understood, respected and appreciated.

Sisters of St. Joseph’s
The Sisters of St. Joseph came to Guelph in 1861 and immediately made a difference in our community. Not only did they serve our community with compassion, care and courage, they developed and trained the next generation of healthcare providers. Inspired by the legacy of the Sisters, the Centre for Resilience, Learning & Growth supports learning and enables compassionate care for all through discovery, innovation and partnerships.
