Ground Broken for Collingwood Campus

Educational opportunities for local students will be enhanced and expanded, after ground was broken for the first permanent home for a Collingwood Campus of Georgian College.

The new Collingwood campus is located on 10 acres of land generously donated by developer John DiPoce. Mayor Carrier said “It is also made possible by a $4-million contribution from the Community Adjustment Fund of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario”.

The new building, open in the fall of 2011, will accommodate 250 full-time students and more than 3,000 part-time students annually.
