Loyalist College

Loyalist College (officially Loyalist College of Applied Arts and Technology) is an English-language community college in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1967 as part of a provincial initiative to create many such institutions to provide career-oriented, hard-skills diploma and certificate courses as well as continuing education programs to Ontario communities. The name of the college reflects the founding of the area's original settlement by United Empire Loyalists.
