September 5, 2007

As students arrived this week to begin a new academic year, Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Wayne Arthurs was on campus at Durham College on September 5 to announce that the provincial government was investing $10 million to build new facilities on the unique and vibrant campus shared by the college and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).

Arthurs, who is also the parliamentary secretary to the provincial minister of finance, made the announcement in the Campus Library’s fireside reading room and was greeted by students, faculty, staff and members of the Durham College leadership team, including President Leah Myers.

The new funding is part of a $50-million investment announced in the 2007 provincial budget for new capital projects and supports the McGuinty government’s $6.2-billion Reaching Higher plan.
