Lambton College
Sarnia’s Lambton College offers a range of degree, diploma and certificate programs, as well as microcredentials. Areas of expertise include applied research technology, health and new sectors such as bio-industry. The e-sports entrepreneurship and administration program at Lambton is the first of its kind in Canada and part of a college-wide initiative that includes the creation of a varsity e-sports team and a world-class gaming arena. In 2023, Lambton launched a school of nursing, which offers an honours bachelor of science in nursing degree and diplomas in personal support work and practical nursing.
Lambton recently underwent a dramatic revamp, with a $14.2-million upgrade on its Centre of Excellence in Energy and Bio-Industrial Technologies that added a 7,000-square-foot training space. The 60,000-square-foot NOVA Chemicals Health and Research Centre hosts health sciences programs, interdisciplinary and applied research, a 40-bed nursing lab, two intensive care units and two simulated advanced care suites. Rounding out the campus makeover is a new athletics and fitness complex, which includes a double gymnasium with seating for 1,241 fans, a VIP booth, a fitness studio and rooms for athletic therapy and first-aid. In 2023, the college began construction on a 1,300-square-foot indigenous gathering and learning space. This year, Lambton’s women’s basketball team won the Ontario College Athletic Association championship gold medal.
