Our cover:
Jon Montgomery’s career is a great example of the
many pathways Georgian students and alumni can
explore to achieve success. The Vancouver 2010
Olympic champion and host of The Amazing Race
Canada graduated from Georgian’s Automotive Business
School of Canada in 2000. In fact, it was a co-op at an
automotive auction house in Calgary that first led him to
the skeleton program at Canada Olympic Park.

Everything at Georgian was really amazing. The
infrastructure, the teachers, the library – it definitely
helped me to feel well hosted. People were always so
kind to me and pleased to help with everything. My
experience was really special, because I left my country,
family and friends, to go to another place, with another
language, and somehow it still felt like home. It was an
amazing time, and I met so many amazing people!
