University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus

Kemptville Campus was established in 1917 and is one of Ontario's oldest agricultural colleges. Built originally to support and strengthen farming practices in Eastern Ontario, Kemptville is committed to specialized quality education and service with many years of experience, and a tradition of working with communities to meet the needs of the Agri-food industry. In 1997, Kemptville along with Ridgetown and Alfred Colleges became part of the University of Guelph. The new designation of Campus, which was conferred in May 2006, recognizes the full integration with the University. Guelph is renowned in Canada and around the world as a research-intensive and learner-centered institution, and for its commitment to open learning, internationalism and collaboration with agricultural producers and their organizations.
