History
The College is named after the Scottish-born engineer and inventor of Sandford Fleming, perhaps best known for his contribution to the concept of Universal Standard Time, which was awarded a noble title in 1897 by Queen Victoria. On May 21, 1965, legislation introduced in Ontario established the College of Applied Art and Technology at the time Education Minister William G. Davis. This historic event for education in Ontario marks the beginning of what will become, about 50 years later, a group of 21 Applied Arts and Technology High School and 3 Institute of Higher Technologies and Advanced Learning. Sir Sandford Fleming College was later founded in 1967 with David B. Sutherland serving as its first president. Mr. Sutherland is the longest serving husband of the Mayor in Peterborough, Sylvia Sutherland.
