The speaker of the afternoon ceremony was Norah Stoner, Durham . West MPP. Stoner challenged the graduates to "dare to dream." which was tle theme of Ontario's recent Education Week.

She said this does not mean that each of us has to reach such great heights, but that haviing dreams, and having them come true is a significant achievement. Stoners spoke of her dreams for the graduates, including her own son,. graduating from Durham's journalism program. "It's a dream that you will succeed and grow, that you will be prepared to start over if you stumble, that you will look for opportunities behind every door, that you will remember that education is a lifelong experience and keep up to date, that you will make the most of each day, and that you will keep your expectations high." Stoner concluded by saying that the graduates were part of the province's greatest resource. "You are our future builders, and we need a commitment from you to do your best." Robert Fair, chairman of the College board of governors, introduced both morning and afternoon speakers. Mel Garland, Durham College's president, presided at the graduation ceremonies, and awarded the President's Gold Medal, Governor General's Academic Medal, and the Stewart R.
