The Rotary Club of Belleville presented a cheque for $75,000 to Loyalist College in support of the Campaign to complete and equip the Sustainable Skills, Technology and Life Sciences Centre on campus. These funds were provided in honour of the late James Marker, a former member of the Rotary Club. Mr. Marker served as president of Belleville Rotary in 1967-68, and provided a generous bequest to the Rotary Club through his estate. Ian Acton, Rotary President, said that, “this is a tremendous initiative for Rotary and for Loyalist, in memory of Jim Marker.” A walkway leading into the Skills Centre will be named in recognition of this donation.
