An Act respecting
Redeemer Reformed Christian College
Preamble
The board of governors of Redeemer Reformed Christian College has applied for special legislation to change the name of the college to Redeemer University College. The applicant represents that Redeemer Reformed Christian College was incorporated as a degree granting institution by The Redeemer Reformed Christian College Act, 1980 and, under the Redeemer Reformed Christian College Act, 1998, was continued as a degree granting institution and was authorized to grant the degrees of Bachelor or Arts and Bachelor of Science. The applicant further represents that the Degree Granting Act requires an Act of the Legislature in order for the college to use the word "university" as part of its name.
