Durham College has received long-term funding from the Barret Family Foundation in support of the Barrett Centre of Innovation in Sustainable Urban Agriculture. This multi-million dollar support will enhance the centre’s offerings with new programs, expanded scholarships and bursaries, and open educational resources. It will also fund the purchase of equipment and technologies that will enhance the student experience. “This support reflects the power of our partnership — creating future-focused learning environments for students while strengthening connections between education and the evolving needs of communities and industries,” said Durham President Dr Elaine Popp. “Together, we are making a meaningful impact on the future of sustainable urban agriculture in Durham Region and beyond.”
