A Niagara family known for its philanthropy and innovation is making a major investment in the region’s healthcare future.
The Haj-Ahmad Family Foundation has donated $500,000 to Niagara College’s Together campaign, supporting the construction of the College’s new Healthcare Education building at the Welland Campus — a 75,000-square-foot facility that will expand teaching, learning, and patient care spaces for hundreds of future healthcare professionals.
Once completed in 2027, the new building will accommodate an additional 800 students across in-demand programs such as nursing, personal support worker, paramedic, and dental care, addressing urgent workforce shortages in Niagara and beyond.
