A celebration of the generosity of donations from the Estate of Dorothy Palmer and the Alma College Foundation was held Friday morning at Fanshawe in St. Thomas. Acting college chair, Donna Gates noted “I could barely keep the smile off my face this morning.” It is a sentiment that was echoed by each of the other speakers who included Catherine Finlayson (Executive Director, Fanshawe College Foundation), Bruno Castellani (Program Coordinator), Mayor Heather Jackson-Chapman and Susan Cluett (Dean, Centre for Community Education & Training Services) as they recognized the contributions and the vision which have made the new program possible.
