College gala raises record amount for capital campaign

The third annual Lambton College President's Gala was the most successful yet.

The sold-out event May 11 raised $90,000 for the college's Envision Tomorrow Capital Campaign.

Peter Mansbridge, the renowned former host of CBC's the National, was the keynote speaker.

The capital campaign, launched by the Lambton College Foundation in June 2015, supports the college’s new facilities including the NOVA Chemicals Health & Research Centre that officially opened earlier this month.

It has raised millions of dollars through community contributions, and government support.

A $47 million campus renewal also saw the addition of a new athletics and fitness complex, and energy and bio-industrial centre.
