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.

Do I have to pay to access these learning opportunities?

How can I track which programs I’ve taken?

Do I need to register in advance?

Programs fill quickly so you are encouraged to register promptly for programs of interest to avoid disappointment.

Are refunds available?

There are several options available if you are unable to attend a program you have registered for.

Learners unable to attend a program are welcome to transfer their registration to another learner.  To do this, simply contact The Centre to advise us of the name of the person attending in your place.

When it is not possible to transfer your registration to another person, we are happy to issue refunds up to two weeks prior to the program start date. 

Cancellations less than two weeks before the program start date will receive a credit to be used for a future program registration.

Can my friend or partner attend with me, if they’re not a healthcare professional?

Extending programming to those outside of healthcare will likely depend on availability of spots. Please contact The Centre to discuss.
