The thunderbird, able to cause thunderstorms and lightning by a flap of its wings, commemorates the fact that the College was established on Algonquin land. A benevolent spirit and a source of wisdom, it represents Algonquin College’s quest to create and share knowledge. The twisted roots on which it stands reinforce the image of the thunderbird as a protector of humankind. They also refer to the roots of learning for the College’s students. | The thunderbird, able to cause thunderstorms and lightning by a flap of its wings, commemorates the fact that the College was established on Algonquin land.

The wolf symbolizes leadership. The wampum, interlaced with the motto scroll, was offered in 2017 to Algonquin College by its students. It represents the College’s past and future, a shared understanding and direction, and the idea of working together to care for students, faculty and staff. | The wolf symbolizes leadership.
