Mohawk's Aminu Bello (Centre) is the Ontario College Athletic Association and Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Male Athlete of the Year. Aminu helped lead the Mohawk Mountaineers men's basketball team to its first OCAA championship in 40 years. Following the provincial championship, the team went on to win the Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association national championship in Nova Scotia.

Both awards were presented to Aminu during a ceremony held at Mohawk College this afternoon. Presenting the awards were Michelle Ball, Director Student Engagement and Athletics at Mohawk College and Blair Webster, Executive Director of the OCAA.

Mohawk remains committed to closing the Elgin Street Campus and relocating students, programs and staff to the quality of facilities they deserve. A review of programs offered at the Elgin Street Campus is now underway to identify where those programs could best fit going forward.

At the same time, Mohawk also remains committed to serving the Brantford community. Mohawk was the first postsecondary institution to open its doors in Brantford more than 40 years ago and wants that partnership to continue. To that end, Mohawk intends to retain its Odeon Campus and to work to find ways to grow this campus in the downtown. Mohawk remains open to working with the City of Brantford and the new mayor and council after this month’s municipal election.
