Learning experiences

Orillia Campus
Georgian’s Orillia Campus is home to our Community Safety and Human Services programs and has close ties to local employers.
Campus buildings total over 136,000 square feet with nearly 45 acres of property, and features a community impact lab, multi-disciplinary lab, use-of-force room and more.

I received a great understanding of the policing system and everything that surrounds it. In addition, I was able to work with two different police services by gaining paid co-op placements in my second and fourth year. I was able to learn on the job and it also provided me with a foot in the door which proved beneficial – I was hired with my service of choice even before I had graduated from Georgian.—Dave Edgar, Constable at Barrie Police Services
