Closure of Algonquin College’s campus in Perth, Ont. has negative economic implications: Mayor

The mayor of Perth, Ont. is voicing her concern about Algonquin College’s plans to close its campus in the rural area, citing negative implications on the economy and the community.

The mayor of Perth, Ont. is voicing her concern about Algonquin College’s plans to close its campus in the rural area, citing negative implications on the economy and the community.

The planned closure of the campus in Perth will result in job losses, and fewer opportunities for the community’s residents, Mayor Judy Brown told Newstalk 580 CFRA's CFRA Live with Andrew Pinsent Sunday.

“I know how many teachers are losing their jobs and how many students won't be putting money into the economy,” Brown said.

“The thing that touches my heart the most, is that this is a local college, and I've talked to young women who have gone back to school for whatever, you know, maybe their marriage is broken up… They’ve got little kids (and they) realize they need more training, and it's feasible because the college is in Perth and their mom can look after the kids.”

The economic loss translates into less revenue to address the town’s aging infrastructure, Brown explains.

“For example, this year we're late to do Craig Street, which turns into Highway 43. Cost is $5.3 million,” Brown said. “We only have 3,000 taxpayers.”

The loss in revenue will also affect the city’s plans to revamp its arena and pool, Brown adds.
