It was a particularly good day for the Riding yesterday as we did have the unveiling of the name for the currently under construction site of the Collingwood campus of Georgian College. The name of the campus site is the “John DiPoce South Georgian Bay Campus”. John and Marie were on hand to receive some of the acknowledgements that are very well deserved. Mr. DiPoce as borne witness by Mr. Tony Miele has been a very generous benefactor in community projects across central Ontario. Yesterday it was also announced that a formal extension of the CAF funding of 4 million dollars (Federal Government monies) has been extended from March 31 2011 to October 31 2011. Mr. DiPoce has long recognized the value of education and this Post-Secondary Institution will benefit today’s students and the future needs of ever changing global economy. This institution is an economic catalyst that will pay dividends to Simcoe Grey residents forever. Congratulations to all but especially to John and Marie DiPoce for their generosity of spirit and community mindedness!
