St. Clair enrolment hits 14,000 WINDSOR – St. Clair College is holding steady with its Fall 2021 enrolment numbers increasing by 149 students from 2020. A total of 14,034 fulltime students are enrolled at all three campuses and the Ace Acumen campuses in the Greater Toronto Area. That is a slight increase of about one percent over last year’s fall figures. There were 7,017 domestic students and 3,993 international students enrolled at campuses in Windsor and Chatham. Another 3,024 students were enrolled at the Toronto region Ace Acumen Academy campuses. International students who were unable to travel to Canada for their studies have been allowed to remain in their home countries to pursue
Hit and run injures teen on scooter LEAMINGTON — Members from the Leamington Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue to investigate a fail to remain collision involving a teen on a scooter that occurred on Tuesday, September 28. On that day at approximately 12:05 p.m., Leamington OPP and Essex Windsor EMS responded to a fail to remain motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Erie Street South and Mill Street East in Leamington. As a result of the collision, a 13-year-old youth was transported to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Officers have since located the involved pickup truck and have identified the driver. The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police regarding this incident to contact the Leamington OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

their studies online. All other programs are being offered in person. College President Patti France said she is relieved the pandemic has not adversely affected the pursuit of post-secondary education for thousands of students at St. Clair College. “In the current environment, I am happy that we were able to maintain the status quo,” France said. “I am proud of the accomplishments we have made to keep our campus community safe while providing a full, in-person education experience for a majority of students.” The figures are based on
a summary of registration statistics from Day 10 of the Fall semester, a point in time when students can no longer withdraw from the college and receive a refund of tuition fees. There was a slight increase in the number of students attending the downtown campus, but the main campus in Windsor and the Chatham campus saw small decreases. France said based on current vaccination rates, the expectation by mid-October is that approximately 94 percent of the school’s population – staff and students – will be fully vaccinated.
