New college construction officially begins By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Parkland College’s Trades and Technology center is coming soon, and evidence is in the heavy construction work currently happening on Dracup Ave. To commemorate the event, the college held an official sod turning ceremony. Dr. Fay Myers, President of the Parkland College, says that it’s exciting to see the ground moving on the site, knowing it’s going to happen and going to open in September 2015. The 29,000 sq. ft. facility will have a 10,000 sq. ft. trades shop, a power engineering lab, six classrooms, a science lab, tutoring and small seminar rooms. The trade shop will offer a number of trades, Myers says, including welding and multiple mechanical trades. Rob Norris, Minister for Advanced Education, says that the facility is an example of the Government of Saskatchewan’s commitment to post-secondary education in the province. “It marks a further investment in Yorkton and the surrounding area, but most importantly in our students and their families, to
stay, study and work here in the Yorkton region and meet a very robust labor market.” Norris says that the community support for the project made it easy
for the provincial government to get behind the project with a $10 million commitment. He says that the college has set a new model for community involvement and
gaining support from the city and corporate partners. He also says there needs to be more capacity for trades education in the community, and
that the Parkland College’s focus on trades is something that is needed for students and businesses. “It’s vital for today and increasingly important
for tomorrow.” Myers concludes by saying the college would like to thank supporters for making the new facility possible through the capital campaign.
THE OFFICIAL SOD TURNING for the Parkland College’s Trades and Technology Center took place recently.
