4 CAMPUSES 1 COLLEGE

Temiskaming Shores features many of the amenities you’d expect from an urban centre, including a vibrant downtown, museums, art gallery, live theatre and multiple live music venues. It’s an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts, whether you enjoy golfing, camping, horseback riding, downhill or cross-country skiing.

The Haileybury Campus features the world-renowned Haileybury School of Mines (HSM), Practical Nursing, Social Service Worker, Instrumentation and Control, Business and Office Administration programs, and the ultra modern Veterinary Sciences Centre.

STUDENT LIFE

When we talk about “campus life” at Northern College, it’s so much more than classrooms or halls. We’re talking about the energy of people learning and collaborating, creating and sharing. This is where you’ll realize your potential — academically, socially, and creatively.

The most popular student life events at Northern College include NOWCHA, Indigenous Week, and winter activities such as skiing and tubing. Working together with Northern College Student Association (NCSA), the year is filled with a variety of local and internationally inspired events.

The Northern College Student Association (NCSA) is for students and led by students. As a student-driven not-for-profit organization, the NCSA seeks to create a warm and inclusive experience where everyone is welcome and celebrated.

Every student pays an activity fee which means you are automatically a member of the NCSA. Throughout the year, the NCSA rolls out a calendar of services, events and activities to build connections, promote joy, and bring the community together.

NCSA directors also make key decisions that affect you. So get involved!

As a student, you have the right to vote for the Executive Board. We encourage you to take it a step further and run for a position yourself. After all, there’s no better way to improve your leadership skills and fully enjoy the Northern Experience than by getting involved right from the start.
