It marked the grand opening of the facility.

The expansion increases space at the college by 6,237 square metres, and cost around $33 million.

The province pledged $28 million of that cost back in 2012.

Additional funding came from industry and other donors.

In April, the college announced it had received $281,000 from the province to create more seats in trades programs considered “in-demand”.
