Ottawa, February 5, 2014 – In the annual exercise conducted by Mediacorp Canada Inc. to determine the best employers in the country, La Cité, the Collège of applied arts and technology, has ranked among the best employers in the National Capital Region for the third consecutive year.

We are deeply committed to offering them a working environment of the highest quality, and we are very proud of the fact that our efforts in this area have been recognized.”
