Rick Mercer Will Be At Lambton College's 50th Anniversary.

From Tyler Kula, Sarnia Observer.

Canadian funnyman and ranter extraordinaire Rick Mercer is helping Lambton College ring in its golden anniversary this spring.

The Rick Mercer Report star is the keynote speaker at what’s being called the President’s Gala – a formal evening May 13 of dancing and dining, complete with silent and live auctions, said Judy Morris, president and CEO of Lambton College.

Mercer, who endured firefighter training at the college in 2012 for a Report segment, is due for a 70-minute address in honour of the country’s sesquicentennial at the gala – a stop on his Canada: Coast to Coast to Coast tour.

Having Mercer attend is ‘very exciting,’ Morris said.

“The intention was to have a speaker with great presence at the President’s Gala, the 50th anniversary celebration,” she said. “We thought about Rick Mercer right away because he represents Canada and he represents so much of who we are as a college as well.”
