With a high
value placed on tomorrow's generations Walker Industries supports
many educational endeavours. We proudly support post secondary
education by donating funds and equipment.
Niagara
College
Walker
Industries has been a major supporter of Niagara College and Niagara
College Foundation. We have donated Laboratory Equipment for
use in their Environmental Instructional programs; funds for the
"Niagara Bi-National Education Partnership"; and a significant
contributor to their Capital Campaign to renovate their Welland
Campus to build their new Glendale Campus. Norris Walker currently
serves as a Director on the Niagara College Foundation.
Brock
University
Walker
Industries' strong relationship with Brock commenced in the '60s
when the Brock first became established. Since then, Walker
Industries has been a constant supporter and Norris Walker has been
instrumental in Co-Chairing the "Good, Better, Brock!"
Campaign to raise $29.62 million dollars. Norris has served
on the Board of Trustees since 1993 and is currently their Vice-Chair.
In 1998, Walker
Industries established a scholarship to be awarded to a student
who is entering their first year of study at Brock and who is a
child of an employee of Walker Industries. If no such student
is eligible, then the award shall be made to a student who is entering
their first year of study and who is a resident of Niagara.
To honour the
Walker Family's ongoing support, Brock University named their new
multi-use recreational facility the "Walker Complex".
