             Welcome to Canadore College, 
                                          a true environment for learning

Barbara Taylor, President

Each year, 3,000 students enjoy the Canadore experience - small class sizes and direct access to faculty and support services, including an Aboriginal Learning Unit and a strong special needs department. We also boast one of the most beautiful campuses in the country.

At Canadore, we are committed to growing to meet the needs of our students - that’s why each year we update our offerings and add new programs. Beginning Fall 2006 we will be complimenting our School of Skilled Trades with certificates in Electrical and Plumbing Techniques and the School of Information Technology will offer a Web Programmer Diploma program.

Canadore students also have a unique opportunity to turn their college diploma into a university degree.  Canadore shares a campus with Nipissing University and the two schools have a formal agreement which provides degree completion opportunities for all diploma graduates.

We also pride ourselves in preparing our students to meet the needs of the workforce - and we’re doing a good job. A recent study shows that 93.8% of employers were very satisfied/satisfied with the skills of the graduates they hired.

Student success means more than just grades and employment though; it’s also about enjoying your college years. College is about developing lasting friendships and experiencing student life, whether through student clubs, social outings, recreation or athletic activities.

Canadore offers a wonderful academic environment to begin your college career, restart your education or acquire skills to meet today’s workplace needs.  I encourage you to learn more about our college - and look forward to welcoming you as a student next year!

History
From the time Canadore College opened its doors in 1967, we’ve taken pride in creating the best possible environment for learning.

Here in the beautiful city of North Bay, just 180 minutes north of Toronto, you’ll discover three easily accessible campuses - the new Aviation Campus, Commerce Court and the Education Centre, which is situated on a stunning 720-acre wooded escarpment overlooking the city. Within the walls of our campuses, you’ll find a personalized environment where you can excel in smaller than average classes and where you’ll have your own academic advisor. A place where every applicant has access to career counselling and our graduates get jobs.

At Canadore, you’ll discover an exhilarating environment packed with activities and social events that will round out your education and make your college years more exciting and memorable. Participate in frosh week, a joint event run by the Canadore Students Representative Council and the Nipissing University Student Union, where new students are introduced to college life and to each other in an action packed orientation week. Visit The Wall Bar & Grillhouse, a great place to relax and unwind with friends. The Wall features a full roadhouse type menu and many exciting events and concerts.

Canadore students are also encouraged to participate in more than 40 different athletic and recreation programs - everything from intramural sports to whitewater rafting, snowboarding and horseback riding. Panther extramural and varsity sports include golf, fastball, volleyball, soccer, hockey and basketball.
