Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson, left, and Dr. Jon Ohlhauser raise the Canadian flag at Hope College to mark its inaugural year.
Sorenson said it is fitting that the Canadian Flag, a symbol of hope around the world, will be flying in front of the college.
He said the investment in vocational training is the hope that Canada wants and this project builds on the strength of rural communities.
Hope College opened to students in September offering courses in business, tourism and corrections.
