VANDERHOOF — The College of New Caledonia has officially opened its new campus in Vanderhoof.

The new campus is a renovated building CNC purchased in 2017 with financial support from the provincial government. It’s able to accommodate 136 students and has been converted to include classroom, shop and library areas with a focus on physical and digital accessibility. Digital Delivery Instruction (DDI) will make it possible for students to join classroom instruction in Prince George, while completing coursework and projects in Vanderhoof.

Programs on offer at the new campus include trades training, including millwright, piping, carpentry, welding and trades discovery; applied business technology – administrative assistant (certificate); and university studies, bookkeeping, human services and business courses.

The campus also supports a group of students taking part in the Health Career Access Program. Students are receiving hands-on skills in a specifically equipped classroom to become health-care assistants to support older adults in long-term care and assisted living residences.

“The community of Vanderhoof is excited and thankful to the Province of B.C., to see the confidence and commitment to our residents, as well as those of the surrounding communities, that rely on us for services, health care and education. This building is the cumulation of about a decade of planning and work into a vision of educating close to home. We are looking forward to working with CNC and the Province of B.C. to educate our citizens for real meaningful employment, which will help us diversify the next generation,” says Vanderhoof Mayor Gerry Thiessen.
