Fleming College has opened its residence buildings at Sutherland Campus for healthcare professionals, and is preparing its Frost Campus residence in Lindsay for Ross Memorial Hospital employees. The College has signed partnerships with Peterborough Regional Health Centre, OMNI Health Care Long Term Care, Peterborough County Paramedics, St. Joseph’s at Fleming and Ross Memorial Hospital.

On top of opening the residence to frontline workers, Fleming’s ongoing efforts to support the community during the pandemic have included:

-> establishing a Student Help Line to offer additional support for students, along with the creation of a COVID-19 Student Emergency Fund for students

-> the launch of a music video, #TogetherAtHome, featuring Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor and local artists in support of the emergency fund.
