Lambton College has received $6.3 million to help establish three centres for applied research.

The college in Sarnia held an event Wednesday to celebrate funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada to establish a Bio-Industrial Process Research Centre and the Lambton Energy Research Centre, and funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund for the college's Centre for Industrial Material Development.

That funding will be used to buy advanced equipment for applied research, allowing the centre to operate as a regional hub for industrial material development projects, while providing services to industry to improve, develop, test and bring to market new materials and products.

The Centre for Industrial Material Development and the Lambton Energy Research Centre were established this year by the college. The Bio-industrial Process Research Centre was established in 2015, and provides bio-industry partners with the ability to conduct applied research, as well as provides services to test and commercialize technologies and products.

“Lambton College has distinguished itself as a leader in applied research and development,” said Sandy Marshall, chairperson of the college's board of governors.

Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
