Ganesh's advice
"Let me quote a beloved children’s author. I promise you, it’s a good choice. Dr. Seuss said, 'When something bad happens, you have three choices: you can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.' That is the beauty of choice; you always have it. In the face of adversity, happiness is a choice. In the face of danger, fear is a choice. In the face of oppression, rebellion is a choice. We have the power to create something out of nothing, will worlds into existence, and move people with our words. So, what a choice we have made to follow our dreams, and what a world we inhabit that is here to witness all the beautiful choices you will make."

Armand Rabbath
Honorary Advanced Diploma in Jewellery Arts
Armand Rabbath's Bio
Armand Rabbath was born in Beirut, Lebanon, into a family of goldsmiths and jewellery makers, and from a young age showed interest and talent. At 20 years old, he began his formal studies in design, wax carving, and casting at the Ghassan Marcha Institute and graduated in 1998.
Upon graduation, Mr. Rabbath started working at Jahel Jewellery in Beirut. In a very short time, he was managing the factory as a foreman. Displaying skills of both exceptional design and extraordinary craftsmanship, his custom work was highly sought after. Also in 1998, Mr. Rabbath put his artistic skills to work as owner of Airbrush Ink Ltd., where he had opportunities to airbrush for movie sets, publicly and privately commissioned murals, automotive art, and tattoos.
In 2005, Mr. Rabbath moved to Canada and was hired by Myerson’s Limited as a goldsmith. He moved quickly through the ranks to foreman and then COO. During this time, he took Rhino Computer-Aided Design courses and created Myerson’s design and 3D printing department. He currently teaches Rhino at Schindler Technologies. In 2021, Mr. Rabbath and two other partners opened Triocast Inc, a casting company based in Toronto.
Mr. Rabbath is President of the Jewellery Program Advisory Committee (PAC) for George Brown College where he helps ensure that graduates are ready to work in the industry and can meet its most current needs and demands.

Elements of the convocation ceremony
Ceremonial Mace
George Brown College introduced the tradition of a ceremonial mace to Convocation in 2014. Designed and produced by George Brown students, faculty and alumni, this ornate staff is a symbol of authority, and reflects, through its design, the values of the college. While an initial mock-up of the mace was created using one of the college’s 3D printers, its production involved traditional casting, metalwork, woodwork and gemology.
A closer look reveals:
• Twenty-four rings on a walnut staff representing each school at the college.
• Rings of six woods from Ontario that signify our commitment to sustainability.
• Rings of seven metals from Ontario that represent a “sense of industry” and the applied nature of many of the programs offered at the college.
• A turtle at the base of the staff symbolizes our connection to Mother Earth and perseverance, intrinsic in the beliefs of many Indigenous nations.
• Four cameos beneath the mace’s chalice carved in the likeness of former Chancellor Sally Horsfall Eaton, former President Anne Sado, George Brown and Bill Davis, the founder of the modern college system.
• A crystal globe surrounded by carved wooden ladders inscribed with words that reflect the values of the college, including creativity, passion, charity, integrity and leadership.
• Two hand-carved trillium flowers on the top representing the province of Ontario.
Coat of Arms
Introduced in the spring of 2019, the George Brown College coat of arms showcases our core values and celebrates our treasured links to the past. It was designed by Bruce Patterson, Deputy Chief Herald of Canada, with input from stakeholders from across the college.
Design elements include:
- A red-tailed hawk holding birchbark, which the original inhabitants of this land used as a means of communication and recording knowledge. Trillium flowers and maple leaves represent Ontario and Canada, respectively.
- A grid pattern that alludes to downtown city streets and the intersection of multiple learning disciplines, rendered in the college’s colours of blue and white.
- Multiple coloured squares represent the diversity of the student body, the city of Toronto, and the different academic centres.
- Two huskies, the mascot of our sports teams.
- A stone wall alluding to Casa Loma, the Toronto landmark that inspired the name of one campus.
- A wavy bar representing water, which reflects our proximity to Lake Ontario.
- The phrase “Inspire new confidence” is a quote from the college’s namesake, the Toronto publisher, politician, and Father of Confederation George Brown.
Eagle Feather
The Eagle, or Migizi in Anishinaabemowin, is viewed by Anishinaabe people as the messenger between the people and the Creator. As a symbol of honesty and truth, the Eagle shows courage, strength and vision. It is also the predominant totem of Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN), upon whose traditional territory George Brown is located.
The Eagle feather is the most sacred and honoured gift given to an individual and must be obtained from an Elder or Knowledge Keeper. According to the MCFN, “The Eagle is our most sacred of birds because the Eagle carries our prayers to the Creator and is therefore heard. The Eagle is also our relative and is part of our family. As a part of our family, we must care for and respect that it has given up its life so that a person may carry its feathers.”
Eagle feathers hold great significance for some Indigenous peoples and are commonly used in ceremonies. As the late Edward Benton-Benai tells us in The Mishomis Book: The Voice of the Ojibway, “we owe our lives and lives of our children to the Eagle” due to Migizi saving us from destruction by advocating to the Creator that there were still people that remained true to their original instruction.
Star Blanket Medallion
In October 2021, George Brown College’s Indigenous Initiatives team unveiled a new medallion, featuring a star blanket design created by artist Joseph Sagaj. In Ojibwe teachings, the star blanket is seven-pointed and carries the seven original clans and the seven grandmother/grandfather teachings. It can represent legends, stories, events, and different perspectives of culture and heritage. A story is told through the star blanket by the reflecting elements of nature and the colours chosen.
The star blanket is symbolic and accompanies its own origin story in many Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. In Anishinaabe culture, the collective understanding is that we are the descendants of the stars and our inherent connection to the stars spans across generations.
Symbolic elements in the medallion include:
- The morning star that is represented in this medallion ties in our Creation to Winona, the first woman, who was lowered from the sky.
- Yellow represents the sun.
- Sky blue represents the wind and water.
- Green represents mother earth.
- Purple represents grandmother spirit.
- Navy blue represents the raven or health.
- Red represents thunder.
