Mr. Speaker, the last three years Conestoga College has been ranked first out of 24 Ontario colleges on its performance indicators.
In recognition of its high number of graduates who are working and employers who are happy with the education of their workers Conestoga College has been awarded a gold medal. For the second year in a row Conestoga College had the lowest student loan default rate of any community college.
Only one of two Ontario post-secondary institutions to be registered by the international quality standard Conestoga College continues to work closely with local industry. Currently, Conestoga College is working toward the introduction of two new applied degree programs and is positioning itself to become a polytechnical institute.
Clearly Conestoga College is the best Ontario college and continues to produce highly trained and qualified employees in my riding of Cambridge.
