We can offer you something different at Northern.
A student experience unlike any other you’ll find in the province. We could talk at length about the quality of our programs and facilities, how you’ll never be a number while you’re a student with us and about how our employer satisfaction rate is the highest for an English-speaking college in Ontario. What we’d rather do, is show you that your time at Northern will be one that you remember.
TIMMINS CAMPUS
Our Timmins Campus is located on the shores of Porcupine Lake in Timmins, Ontario. This campus includes an on-site residence, the Integrated Emergency Services Complex, and the main campus building. We have a mix of classrooms, studentfriendly spaces, and labs for all types of programs, including health, technology, trades, emergency services, and early childhood education.

Timmins is the ultimate combination of urban and rural living, with the amenities and services of a larger city and the outstanding landscapes of Northern Ontario just minutes away. Whether you enjoy fishing or hunting, camping, skiing or snowmobiling, you’ll find plenty of space to do the things you love, with many opportunities for shopping, dining and enjoying the arts.
