ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT CANADORE COLLEGE?
“Canadore is made stronger by having one of the highest representations of Indigenous learners per capita in the college system. We are very proud of the Canadore approach to culturally respectful and holistic education.”
SHAWN CHORNEY, Vice-President Enrolment Management, Indigenous & Student Services
“I would say, just give it a shot for one year, and see how it goes. Pick a one-year program, and go from there. The people at Canadore, the First Peoples’ Centre, the professors and the students, they will try to help you as best they can. They will try to make you a part of this family. I’m nding it hard to leave Canadore. I love Canadore and I love North Bay.”

Each year, Canadore College welcomes approximately 700 Indigenous learners to our three campuses in the City of North Bay, located on the traditional territory of Nipissing First Nation and on lands protected by the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850. Our satellite campus is in Parry Sound, located on the traditional territory of Wasauksing.
Last year over half of those learners attended programs offered on campus, whereas others went to Indigenous partner campuses or learned and earned credentials in their home communities.
Many more chose a part-time learning path.
Nearly 20 percent of Canadore’s total on-campus student population celebrates Indigenous heritage from diverse nations.
The First Peoples’ Centre offers comprehensive cultural and academic support for Indigenous learners attending Canadore and reaches out to many more through recruitment, promotion, and community outreach projects.
Canadore College and its students add nearly $290 million to the regions of Nipissing and Parry Sound annually. Approximately 1,000 students graduate from Canadore each year, joining 43,000 alumni working across the globe.
