FORT ST JAMES — The College of New Caledonia (CNC) has confirmed its physical campus in Fort St. James will officially close on March 31, 2026.

“This was not an easy decision,” said a statement provided to CKPG News by CNC. “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.”

Despite the campus closure, CNC says it’s not leaving Fort St. James or the surrounding communities. The College says it remains committed to providing education and training opportunities that meet the needs of local learners and employers.

Going forward, CNC says “programming will continue to be delivered in new and flexible ways, including”:

•             Community-based programming delivered in local facilities

 The College also said its “commitment to learners in Fort St. James remains strong, and we will continue to work with the community to ensure education and training opportunities remain accessible.”
