A project at Canadore College has received a $300,000 donation.

The money for The Village project comes from the Canadore Students Council.

The council has requested that $250,000 of that money go towards the Roundhouse where Elders and Knowledge Keepers will help students explore and celebrate the Indigenous Culture.

The rest will go towards Indigenous Student awards and mental health concerns.

The 20-million dollar Village project will integrate seniors’ and community care, with teaching, skills training and applied research at Canadore.
