LOYALIST COLLEGE

Loyalist College, officially known as Loyalist College of Applied Arts and Technology, is an English-language college situated in Belleville, Ontario, Canada.

Historically, prior to the 1960s, the province of Ontario had only trade schools alongside universities at the post-secondary level. These trade schools were mainly established to assist veterans in reintegrating into society after World War II. In 1967, as part of a provincial initiative to create a network of career-focused diploma and certificate programs, along with continuing education offerings for communities in Ontario, Loyalist College was founded. The college derives its name from the original settlement in the area by United Empire Loyalists.

Initially, Loyalist College operated within a local high school. However, in 1968, it relocated to its current 200-acre campus on Wallbridge-Loyalist Road. The college also has a satellite campus in Bancroft, Ontario, and maintains an association with the First Nations Technical Institute located in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory reserve.
