Your dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to excellence make a difference every single day. Whether it’s supporting your teammates or going above and beyond for our clients, your hard work does not go unnoticed.

We’re grateful to have you as part of our team—thank you for everything you do!

As the Sundance College 2026 graduation in Edmonton approaches, we’re highlighting some of our inspiring graduates.

Tamara B., who earned her Addictions and Community Health Professional diploma, reflects on her career after graduating:

“I am working as an Addiction Counsellor and National Native Alcohol and Drug Addiction Program (NNADAP) Referral Worker for my community of Maskwacis with the Samson Cree Nation Community Wellness and NNADAP Department.

I am passionate about serving my community and helping others grow and heal. My goal is to support individuals in becoming sober and free from drugs and alcohol.

Thank you to Sundance College for providing me with the education and foundation to work in the addictions field.”

On March 26, we celebrate the dedication, perseverance, and achievements of our newest graduates at our graduation ceremony in Edmonton. 🎓
