As we prepare to open Concordia, our new Resource Centre and Library at the Armstrong Creek campus, we invite every GLC family to be part of something enduring — A Lasting Chapter in the story of GLC.
This sponsorship initiative celebrates the people and stories that make our community what it is. Families are invited to purchase a tile designed as a book spine, which will form a feature mural at the entrance of Concordia. Each “spine” will carry words chosen by you — a family name, a favourite book title, a meaningful phrase, or a value you hold dear.
Together, these individual chapters will create a powerful visual story: many voices, one community. Each tile represents a moment in time, yet collectively they form a lasting legacy — a reminder that GLC is built not only with bricks and mortar, but with faith, learning, and the families who journey together here.
A Lasting Chapter is more than a sponsorship. It is an opportunity to be written into the ongoing story of GLC — a chapter that future students will pass every day as they enter a place of knowledge, curiosity, and growth.
HOW DO WE GET INVOLVED?
We ask families and interested community members to choose a font, and the words they wish to include and pay the sponsorship amount - $300 per book spine. All payments over $2 are tax deductible donations.
Over the coming months selected GLC Product Design students with the assistance of staff will create the wooden book spines from a variety of woods using the College CNC machine to engrave the words.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to be involved in a hands on legacy project that the community will enjoy for many years to come. You can access the ordering page at the link below.
