"As a proud Islander, it has been exciting to watch Holland College grow and thrive. Prince Edward Island has benefited significantly from the skilled labour force produced by the many programs offered at this first-class Institution. The student body is the heart of the college and their health and well-being are integral to its success. The foundation is in place to help support the students and enhance their college experience, and I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to assist in its growth."

Dr. Katherine Ellis Ghiz - Physician, Queen Elizabeth Hospital

“I really didn’t fully appreciate what Holland College means to the community until our daughter, Lisa, enrolled in the Foundations program and went on to get her diploma as an early childhood educator. The learning managers and support staff made sure Lisa was supported to be successful! Holland College creates opportunities,  I’m very happy to do my little part to make sure that continues."

John Horrelt - President, REJ Holdings & LandFest Company Ltd.

"We are so fortunate to have a training facility like Holland College here in our small province that helps form the future of our communities. Most successful business operations today have someone that has attended Holland College or is associated with it, be it in Agriculture, Manufacturing, Tourism, or Fisheries to name a few. In a forever changing workforce it is more essential than ever to support the needs of this most valuable institution in the future to fulfill the training needs of our young people and businesses."

"It has been said best by Michelle Obama. 

'The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot in the door and take your seat at the table – all of that starts with education.'

As a strong believer in the value of a good education, and valuing the role that Holland College plays in educating and preparing its students to become valuable contributors in their communities, I am pleased to be able to support and advance the goals of the Holland College Foundation in its work to enhance the contribution Holland College is able to make to our Island community and beyond."

"In this day and age, the training that Holland College provides is more important than ever. The Foundation provides assistance to students to allow them to succeed and excel. I am proud to be involved in such an endeavour."
