Read the U of G - The Portico - Grad Story below.

We’re used to seeing Canada excel in ice hockey, but this August, for the first time, Canada will send a team of women to the world championships in underwater hockey, and one of the players is a U of G grad.

Michelle Yu Hua Chan, B.Comm. ’14, was a first-year student in hotel administration when a friend persuaded her to try underwater hockey.

On May 21st, Simon Day along with Guelph chefs, winners of U of G's Good Food Innovation Awards are off to cook and showcase their work at the James Beard House in New York's Greenwich Village.

The James Beard House is a performance space for visiting chefs to showcase their work, with proceeds supporting the non-profit James Beard Foundation.

Registration is now open for the 11th annual HAFA/HFTM Golf Tourney taking place on Friday, June 26th at the Richmond Hill Golf Club.

With the support of our sponsors and volunteers, this annual event brings together alumni, faculty and staff for great day of fun, laughter, camaraderie and memories. 

Professor Justin Taillon and HFTM student JC Hough have published a paper in The Bottomline Magazine, an applied hotel industry publication. The paper deals with recent changes to Ontario and primarily the Toronto hotel scene and projects the future of the Toronto and Ontario markets. This includes the growth of the luxury segment (e.g. Ritz-Carlton, Shangri-La, Four Seasons, Trump), the convention market (Sheraton, Hilton, Delta, Eaton Chelsea), mega events (e.g. Pan-Am Games, Women's World Cup), and how recent changes to oil and the US dollar are impacting cross-border travels. 

Each year the Ontario Hostelry Institute (OHI) recognizes very special and accomplished men and women to be named as Fellows of the Institute at their annual Awards dinner. 

The School of Hospitality, Food, and Tourism Management held its annual Awards Ceremony to recognize over forty outstanding undergraduate and graduate students this year. The School also welcomed student guests, faculty, esteemed alumni, parents of award recipients, and awards donors.
