VIP Day


On March 13, 2013 Lambton College hosted their very first VIP day where perspective students got a first hand look into our creative programs. In addition to tours of the college and its facilities, this exclusive event offered a look not only into our digital photography program, but also into the fashion business/fashion sales and merchandising, hairstyling and esthetics, and culinary programs. The day consisted of perspective photography students snapping shots of models made-over by hairstyling and esthetics students, styled by our fashion students, and had lunch courtesy of the culinary students.

Special thanks go out to everyone who made the day such a success, Richard Beland, Don McCahill, Lori Kaempf, Alastair MacKay, Anja Cristensen, and all our amazing students who represented our College well. All in all it was a very successful event for Lambton College and we look forward to seeing each enthusiastic student in September!

Margaret Trudeau Visits Lambton College


 The Workplace Wellness Committee in partnership with the Sarnia Lambton Workforce Development Board welcomed Margaret Trudeau for a Keynote Presentation on March 27th at the Lambton Inn.
Margaret is well known as Canada’s youngest first lady when she married Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau in 1971 at age twenty-two. While appearing to lead a charmed and glamorous life, Margaret was struggling with bi-polar disorder.
She is now dedicated to helping others overcome the stigma of mental illness, and in her new highly anticipated book, Changing My Mind, she shares her insight about the mental illness that that affected her life so profoundly.
Margaret attended breakfast in the ballroom and spoke about mental health issues and how they impact the workplace, then stopped by our photo studio for a photo-op shot by Richard Beland.

Carolyn Grayson Visit


Guest Speaker: Carolyn Grayson

On March 25, 2013, guest speaker Carolyn Grayson paid a visit to our Digital Photography class.  Carolyn is a professor here at Lambton College, teaching Anatomy and Physiology. She considers herself an avid amateur photographer, but in reality she is anything but amateur. Carolyn excels in nature photography and covered topics such as macro photography and flash duration, things she employs to capture stunning photos of Hummingbirds in flight.
Below are all photos of Carolyn's including a beautiful landscape in Ecuador (middle), and a  violet-tailed sylph (bottom).
