The College of New Caledonia will be closing its physical campus in Fort St. James on March 31st.
“This was not an easy decision.” the college said in a statement.
“Fort St. James has been an important part of CNC’s history, and we recognize the deep connections the campus has had with the community over many years.”
This comes after CNC hosted an open forum on January 29th, where it discussed the closure and future plans with the community.
While the physical campus will no longer be open, CNC said it will still provide programs in different ways including:
- Community-based programming delivered in local facilities
- Short-term and skills training aligned with local labour market needs
- Partnership-based training with local employers and organizations
- Online and blended learning opportunities that allow students to study closer to home
- Mobile or cohort-based program delivery when there is sufficient local demand
They add their commitment to learners in Fort St. James remains strong, and will continue to work with the community to ensure education and training opportunities remain accessible.
