Three philanthropists have showed their support for the expansion at St. Thomas More College.

Warman's David and Karen Holst have donated 500 thousand dollars towards the 6 million dollar capital campaign.

Allan Markin of Calgary matched the donation that will go towards the completion of the 12 thousand square foot expansion.

The expansion will increase the college's footprint by 20 percent and will provide additional classroom, research, seminar, and gathering space.

Construction on the 8 million dollar project is expected to be complete by the late fall of 2013.
