Durham College (DC) is welcoming yesterday’s announcement by the provincial government that it will extend the Lakeshore East rail corridor east across the rest of Oshawa and into Bowmanville. The news is great for DC students and our community and will help to generate economic growth and development in Durham Region and well beyond.

In particular, the college is proud to play a key role in the Durham Learning and Business District (dLAB), a partnership between DC, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Trent University Durham, River Oaks Group and Halloway Developments Ltd. which released the following statement about yesterday’s announcement.
