TORONTO…The Toronto chapter of the Kingston College Old Boys Association has received a generous donation of more than CAD$20,000 in tools from the carpenters’ union.
The gift from the union’s Central Ontario Regional Council includes a range of power and hand tools. They are destined for Kingston College in Jamaica and will equip the school’s industrial arts department.
Ucal Powell, the union’s financial secretary, plans to go to Jamaica later in the year to formally hand over the tools.
“This gift will be of tremendous benefit to the students of Kingston College,” says Lance Seymour, president of the Toronto chapter, who also noted that it will help the school fulfill its five-year plan to upgrade the facilities.
The Carpenters’ Union will be recognized for its donation at Kingston College’s upcoming annual reunion banquet, Saturday, November 7th in Toronto.
