History of Oulton College

Gordon A. Oulton founded Oulton’s Business College in 1956, after having spent the previous 19 years as an Instructor and Principal at Robinson Business College in Moncton. Mr. Oulton’s goal was to run a progressive business college catering to the business needs of the day by offering training in accounting, stenography, short-hand, manual typing, business machines, and letter writing. In its first year of operation the College had approximately 80 students and 6 staff members. Oulton's Business College was first located at 599 Main Street in the Humphrey Block of downtown Moncton.

At the age of 18, Mr. Donald Fontaine began teaching at the College and was one of the original staff members. Along with his teaching responsibilities, he later accepted the position of Vice-Principal. After 27 years of service Fontaine was given ownership of the College in 1983. At that time, the College continued to offer business training and numbered approximately 230 students with 10 staff members.

In 1987, as original staff members were preparing for retirement and major changes in curriculum were being implemented due to the arrival of modern computers, Mr. Fontaine decided to sell the College to Mr. James Denton, but remained at the College as an Instructor and Principal.

Additional programs were offered in such fields as Travel & Tourism, Medical Office Administration, Banking and Paralegal. That year the College moved from its original location on Main Street to a more spacious building at 107 Robinson Street in downtown Moncton.

Due to family health reasons, Mr. Denton decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona in 1994. In the mid 1990’s, courses in computer programming and networking were introduced in order to meet the demands of a growing Information Technology Industry. During this period the College witnessed a change in name from Oulton’s Business College to Oulton College. In 2001, the College moved to its present location, a larger state-of-the-art facility located at 55 Lutz Street in downtown Moncton where new programs began to be offered in Policing & Corrections, Child & Youth Care, Pharmacy Technician, Veterinary Technician, Dental Assistant, Early Childhood Education, and Dental Hygiene.

In 2005, after 49 years of service, Mr. Donald Fontaine retired and the building was named in his honor. As of 2010 the College offers 14 programs, has 30 staff members, and approximately 300 students.[1]
