Norris Walker estate donates $3-million to Niagara College for new health building

A $3-million donation from the estate of Norris Walker is supporting Niagara College’s new Health Education building at its Welland Campus. 

The gift brings the family’s total contribution to $7-million, the largest in the college’s history.

The new facility aims to address healthcare worker shortages in Niagara and will allow the college to graduate 800 more students each year. 

In recognition of the donation, a main gathering space will be named the Norris Walker Family Community Courtyard.
