Stop the sale. Save Perth College.
Make Your voice heard
We need your help to show the Ontario government that this campus matters—to our community, to the trades, to our young people, and to the future of our region.
We need you to contact The Hon. Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, The Hon. Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security, and John Jordan, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. Tell them to stop the sale and support Toby’s proposal to keep trades training alive in Perth.
Every message counts.
Key Points to make:
- The Perth College is vital for rural education, providing accessible post-secondary opportunities in Lanark County.
- Its heritage trades programs are unique and contribute to preserving Canada’s architectural heritage.
- The 2009 federal and provincial investment ($10 million) was meant to ensure the campus’s longevity as a leader in heritage trades and green technology.
- Closing the campus will harm the local economy, exacerbate workforce shortages, and force young people to leave our community.
- Support Toby Shannan’s proposal to transform the campus into a non-profit centre for skilled trades while addressing the housing and labour crisis.
- Consider including your postal code in your email so that you are prioritized as constituent.
The more people they hear from, the more likely the Ontario government is going to act.
