Campion College in Regina is enhancing its facilities and the technology ituses for on-line training and student services, thanks to a $475,000 investment
by the provincial government.
"One of the best ways we can celebrate Saskatchewan's centennial is by
strengthening our public institutions," Post-Secondary Education and Skills
Training Minister Glenn Hagel said. "Saskatchewan people have always made
education a priority. The knowledge and skills of our graduates will build our
future."
"We are grateful for this generous investment in the education of our
students," Campion College President Dr. Joseph Schner said. "It allows us to
offer students greatly improved technical services for registration, teaching
and research within a helpful environment. It shows a strong commitment on the
part of the Government of Saskatchewan, in co-operation with Campion, to
maintaining the highest standards of service."
The funding is from the Centenary Fund, announced in this year's budget to
leave a legacy of Saskatchewan's Centennial for future generations. Leading up
to the centennial celebrations in 2005, the Saskatchewan Government is funding
projects that support key infrastructure needs in the post-secondary education
and skills training sector.
