History
James Washington Westervelt Sr. founded Westervelt College in 1885 in downtown Toronto, at the corner of Richmond Street and King Street West. In 1896, Westervelt assisted in founding the Business Educator’s Association of Canada. Over the years, the vocational College expanded, moved and changed ownership several times before Donna and Allan Doerr purchased the College in 1991. In 1995, the college built a new, 4-storey, 40,000 square foot campus in London, Ontario, and has permanently moved there.
In 1999, Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association awarded Westervelt “Supplier of the Year” for supplying the best graduates for employment in the Hospitality Industry. In 2009, Westervelt College received the London Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Business Achievement Award.[4]
By 2010, the college had over 48,000 graduates, and was acknowledged by the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, and the Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, for the 125th anniversary of its founding.[5]
