The Lambton Way
To be an educational institution is to be entrusted with the future. That is the simple truth that has informed every aspect of this Strategic Plan – a plan that shows us where we're going and, just as importantly, the way we're going to get there.
We call it the Lambton Way.
The Lambton Way is the ethos that underpins everything we do. This includes big picture work like curriculum development, design of our new and renovated spaces, enhanced focus on wellness supports, and employee recognition. It also encompasses the smaller day-to-day details, like the way our people will pause what they’re doing to make sure students, clients, or guests get where they need to be.
With a new Strategic Plan comes the opportunity to ensure our vision, mission, values, and commitments are grounded in the Lambton Way. It’s this approach that ensures education at Lambton College treats students as whole people, developing their academic and occupational potential alongside their wellness, social acuity, and global citizenship. It positions us to anticipate and meet the needs of our communities through a collaborative approach to education, research, and workforce development. And it enables us to cultivate caring by modeling it in how we treat our students, clients, and each other.
To ensure the Lambton Way is a lived culture, we have distilled it into a working definition that can act as a touchstone for everything from institutional decision-making to the actions of employees every day.
It is through that lens that we are proud to say the Lambton Way is our shared responsibility in leading with kindness and compassion, exceeding the expected, and shaping a healthy, inclusive, and prosperous future by:
At Lambton College, we have the immense privilege and responsibility of working at an educational institution where a job well done translates to lives well lived, for ourselves and so many others.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
"I was nearing the end of a long drive home to Sarnia when our beautiful tower came into view, illuminating the night sky. It reminded me of a lighthouse, and that struck me as a symbol of what we want to be at Lambton College: an enduring beacon of safety, purposeful direction, and always, always hope."
- Rob Kardas, President & CEO
