We were saddened to learn of the passing of our former President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Fred Gilbert. While his achievements as our President were many, his two most impactful were the founding of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and the establishment of our Lakehead Orillia campus. While the dream of a University coming to Orillia began years earlier, it was Dr. Gilbert's efforts supporting the drive of the citizens of Orillia that saw that dream come true. The flag at the Orillia Campus will remain at half mast, today, in his honour.
