Johns, T.O. Durin, and Otto Peters. The Centre provided evening programs to train unskilled and unemployed youths in various trades. The success of the Centre resulted in the federal government providing funding through the Department of Labour in 1938. A few of the first courses offered included carpentry, sheet metal, machine shop, needle trades, welding and forging, power engineering, and radio. By 1948 the centre was rebranded the Manitoba Technical Institute (MTI) and became the first public post-secondary vocational school in Manitoba. In 1950 the Central School of Practical Nurses transferred from St. Joseph's Hospital to MTI. Advisory committees formed from top executives from local businesses and industry helped keep MTI up to date with changing industrial and business practices. In 1963 the Notre Dame campus was built and the college name was once again changed this time to the Manitoba Institute of Technology (MIT). The name changes would continue with a change to "Red River Community College" in 1969 and eventually "Red River College" in 1998. Stevenson Aviation & Aerospace Training Centre was established in January 2002,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rrc.mb.ca/index.php?pid=316 )〕 and Stevenson Aviation merged with Red River College to create the Stevenson Campus in April 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rrc.mb.ca/stevensonaviation )〕 In 2004, the Princess Campus was built in Downtown Winnipeg, with a large focus on multimedia design, computer technology, and the popular Creative Communications program, which prepares students for careers in advertising, journalism, media production, and public relations. In 2011, the Princess Campus was renamed to the Roblin Center in honour of former Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin. The Roblin Center, together with the Paterson Global Foods Institute are now known as the Exchange District Campus. On July 4, 2012, Red River College discontinued over the air broadcasting of student radio station 92.9 Kick FM after nearly 10 years of broadcasting, due to a campus radio policy change by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red River College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
