B.C. University Honours Late Premier with Name of New Campus
- On May 23, 2025, Royal Roads University officially dedicated its Langford location as the John Horgan Campus, paying tribute to the late former B.C. Premier.
- The naming followed Horgan's death from cancer in November 2024 and recognizes his efforts to expand access to post-secondary education in the growing Langford community.
- The new integrated education center is planned to officially open in September 2025 and will include programs from Royal Roads University, as well as offerings from several other local post-secondary institutions such as a major regional university, a community college, and a public safety training institute.
- Premier David Eby, who attended the ceremony with more than 200 guests, said Horgan was a “remarkable champion of education” and personally donated $25,000 to create the John Horgan Entrance Award.
- The campus naming and award symbolize Horgan’s legacy of supporting education and community, which his widow Ellie said would have meant the world to him.
