Fleming’s Hairstyling program is designed by multi-award winning and internationally recognized industry professionals and entrepreneurs, including Peterborough’s Harmony Hair Salon owner Chris Asta. This new program will embrace both hairstyling theory and extensive hands-on training. The newly designed onsite Academy Salon will use environmentally sustainable Aveda products and Italian designed equipment of the highest quality worldwide. Students will work with products and practices which support the health, social, economic, and ecological well-being of their clients and their communities. Hairstyling at Fleming is offered in a compressed format, three-semesters and has a wide variety of courses to teach students all aspects of the hairstyling business, from the basics of hair care to running a salon. Instructors will train students in the latest in hair cutting, styling and colouring techniques for everyone. Students will also study the retail and business side of the hair care industry. Students will be mentored by leading industry experts during their time at Fleming. By the end of the program, students will have developed a full portfolio of their work to complement their resumes. A hair fashion show takes place at the end of the third semester. Whether you are a high school graduate, mature student or someone looking for an invigorating career, this program is for you. The program begins in January 2024. Visit here for more information on how to enroll. For media enquiries, please contact: Sarah Deeth Communications Officer sarah.deeth@flemingcollege.ca 705-749-5530 ext. 1161 Web: flemingcollege.ca Facebook: facebook.com/flemingcollege Twitter: @FlemingCollege Instagram: @flemingcollege Read More FLEMING STUDENTS HELPED LAUNCH PETERBOROUGH'S FIRST PRIDE PARADE Peterborough, ON (Sept. 21, 2023) - Twenty years ago, a small group of Fleming College students did something that was, at the time, pretty radical. They created Peterborough’s Pride Parade. Jax Blue was part of that group. He was enrolled in Fleming’s Drug and Alcohol Counselling program; It was the first of three programs he’d take at Fleming, graduating from that program in 2003, Social Service Worker in 2004 and Culinary Management in 2007. Outside of his studies, he was actively involved in promoting and advocating for diversity awareness at Fleming. He was the president of the Fleming Association of Queer Students (FAQS), a group which advocated for diversity and inclusion and raised issues on behalf of Fleming’s 2SLGBTQ+ community. Back in 2003, he explained, there wasn’t a whole lot for the 2SLGBTQ+ community to do outside of the odd Rainbow dance at one of the downtown bars. But 2SLGBTQ+ issues were making headlines in 2003. Same sex marriage was being debated in the House of Commons. Pride Parades were common in large cities, and smaller municipalities were beginning to host them as well-though Jax noted smaller Pride Parades often came about after a lengthy human rights battle between the local 2SLGBTQ+ community and opposing community members. “We would talk, and think, why can’t Peterborough have a Pride?” He said. Bent on the idea of bringing Pride to Peterborough, Jax contacted Peterborough’s City Hall to see how FAQS could turn the idea of a Pride Parade into reality. It turns out the process was pretty simple. Jax needed to write a proclamation, and get it approved by then-Mayor Sylvia Sutherland. “So I googled how to write a proclamation and went from there,” Jax said with a laugh. It didn’t take long to write, he said, and he kept it folded up in his pocket to show friends to see if anyone had any input. “I filed it thinking, ok, here we go, we’re up for a two-year human rights fight.” He was shocked when City Hall called him back about a week later and told him the proclamation-and the Pride Parade-had received an official stamp of approval and that he could come pick up the now-official document. “I said, ‘Yeah I’ll be over in five minutes before you change your mind.’” A newspaper photospread from Peterborough's first Pride Parade. Image Courtesy of Jax Blue. But not everyone was happy. While some city councillors called Jax to offer congratulations and support, others publicly expressed outrage over not being consulted about the parade, and some residents voiced their disapproval. Jax and his team still had a lot of work to do. They needed to pick a date, set a parade route, and raise $1,800 to pay for costs like road closures and policing. “But it was unbelievable how quickly the community came together.” Support poured in from all corners. The Peterborough NDP Riding Association invited Jax on an NDP boat cruise with Jack Layton and Howard Hampton to sell tickets to a Peterborough Pride fundraising dinner. Pride Month is in June, but Peterborough’s Pride has always taken place in September. It was a date the Fleming team picked because it’s when Fleming and Trent students arrive to attend Fall semester classes. Jax thought they’d need student support to make sure the event was successful. “I’m there, I’m going OMG, are we going to have 10 people, 50 people, 100 people? That would be great,” Jax recalled. “And then I saw how many people actually showed up.” Police and reporters covering Peterborough’s first Pride Parade estimate that a crowd of 300 to 400 people stood outside City Hall to support and march in Peterborough Pride. The event has grown tremendously since that initial walk. On September 15 a team of Fleming College representatives, local politicians and community members were at City Hall to hoist the Pride flag high into the air. Hundreds of residents representing their community, businesses and organizations will walk in the Sept. 23 parade. Jax has only missed one Peterborough Pride in the 20 years since he helped create it. There’s a tradition he’s upheld, year after year. There’s a point in the march, he explains, when the parade turns a corner after heading through the downtown core and heads toward Millennium Park. It’s at that point that Jax steps out of the parade, turns around, and silently takes in the swell of people marching in the parade. “I stop and I stand there by myself, and I just watch the rest of the parade go by, and it’s always emotional for me.” Jax will be there on Saturday, Sept. 23 for his 20th pride parade. And once again, he’ll stand at the corner, turn around, and reflect proudly on how far the Peterborough community has come. Fleming College will be at the Peterborough Pride Parade and Pride in the Park on Saturday, Sept. 23. All Fleming students, employees, and supporters are welcome to walk with us in the parade or cheer us on along George Street. We’ll be decorating on site in the PACE School parking lot in front of City Hall and the Cenotaph between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. A participant in Peterborough's first Pride Parade in September, 2003.

Teams consisting of police officers, municipal representatives and students will be walking through residential areas around the Sutherland and Frost campuses, handing out swag and information to new residents. This information includes garbage and recycling pickup schedules, public transit routes, city maps and tips on how students can be great neighbours and help create a warm, inclusive environment in their community.

We’re attracting billions of dollars worth of investment from companies worldwide that will create thousands of new jobs.” The EaRTH Switch program will take place in three main geographic nodes—Scarborough, Durham Region, and Peterborough & the Kawarthas—and has been developed in conjunction with key partners including the Toronto District School Board, Toronto Catholic District School Board, Durham District School Board, Durham Catholic District School Board, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, Armada Automotive, Team Eagle Ltd, eCampusOntario, Toronto Zoo, Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium, Climate Positive Energy, University of Toronto, UTSC/EaRTH District, Solv4x Inc, and Quickmill Inc. “Careers in Ontario’s auto sector offer life-changing opportunities, with good pay, pensions and benefits. Our government will continue to invest in innovative projects that help workers and jobseekers get the skills they need to land better jobs with bigger paycheques in the auto industry,” said Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. EaRTH Switch draws on the extensive resources of the EaRTH District consortium with its expansive network of community and industry partners and proven track record of successful program implementation for young people.
