The flags were flown at half-staff today in honour of former Ontario Premier Bill Davis, who passed away on August 8. Bill Davis was premier of Ontario from 1971 to 1985, serving as a member of the Ontario Legislature from 1959 to his retirement in 1985, representing Peel, Peel North and Brampton.

Davis established the Ontario College system, vastly transforming the post-secondary landscape in the province and providing more options to learners. He was presented with an honorary degree at Humber’s Spring 2017 convocation. 

On May 6, 1987, Davis was among the first of 20 citizens to be honoured with an investiture in The Order of Ontario.

He was a Brampton native, where many of our students and employees reside and where the University of Guelph and Humber College are exploring the possibility of relocating the University of Guelph-Humber.
