About the Institution
In May 1965, then provincial Minister of Education William Davis introduced Bill 153 which created the province´s community college system to provide a post-secondary education alternative for those not wanting or able to attend university. Colleges were to be independent of existing systems, community-based and fulfill the needs of business and industry. In August 1966, Seneca College was officially established at its first Board of Governors meeting, chaired by Fred Minkler. Sept. 6, 1967: Seneca opened its doors with founding President William Newnham. That first year had 852 full-time and 1,067 part-time students enrolled in 20 diploma and certificate programs. Classes were offered at a number of sites including the North York Board of Education, the Woolworth Store at Sheppard and Yonge, the Lewis Beattie Secondary School and a renovated factory at 43 Sheppard Avenue East.
