PM breaks ground on new Niagara College Applied Health Institute
Project to create new jobs and give health care students tools for future success
9 October 2009
WELLAND, ONTARIO
"This new facility, like others delivered through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, shows how Canada’s Economic Action Plan is working for Canadians," said Prime Minister Harper. "In addition to the jobs and millions of dollars of economic activity this project will create for the Niagara Region, our action is helping to ensure that graduating students have the tools they need for success, now and in the future."
The Prime Minister was joined by Niagara College President Dan Patterson to break ground on the $40 million project, which, in addition to housing Practical Nursing, Support Worker and Dental programs currently delivered in a rented space, will also accommodate the community dental clinic.
In total, the Harper Government and the Government of Ontario are investing $1.5 billion in 49 projects at Ontario’s post-secondary institutions through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program and Ontario’s 2009 Budget.
