Premier Kathleen Wynne toured Fanshawe's Norton Wolf School of Aviation Technology on Jan. 24 as part of her campus tours. After learning more about what the students are learning in their program, Wynne spoke with them in a Q&A style session to address issues that mattered most to them, including OSAP, hydro and electricity.

Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, stopped by Fanshawe’s Norton Wolf School of Aviation Technology, on Jan. 24 as part of her list of recent campus tours. The college was the first one of a busy day, where she would later go to Conestoga College, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo.

The premier toured the facilities, spoke with representatives and students to understand what their program is all about and made time for an hour-long Q&A session with students and their concerns. Wynne was accompanied by Deputy Premier of Ontario, MPP for London North Centre, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Digital Government, Honourable Deb Matthews. President Peter Devlin was also in attendance and gave the premier a warm welcome before showing her around the airport campus and leading the main discussion with students. Fanshawe Student Union (FSU) president Carlie Forsythe introduced Wynne and Matthews during the Q&A, before asking a question of her own.

Wynne is on tour to see what students are doing in courses, and along with Matthews, spoke about a number of issues in regards to making Ontario better economically, including improved OSAP opportunities and education.

Students were fully engaged and while some thanked the premier and deputy premier for their visit, some challenged the notions of a few topics, including OSAP, electricity and hydro, and though there were protestors outside the venue, Wynne and Matthews were calm, though no questions from the media were taken.
