Northern College’s Annual Report 2025- 2026 [PDF, 4.3 MB] has been approved by the Board of Governors in June 2025.
Change, adaptability and growth have become a mantra for Northern College as our institution continues to navigate the uncertainty of the modern, post-secondary landscape in 2026.
This mantra has cemented itself as the clearest path forward for Northern, a core set of principles which help to guide our decision making, grounding difficult and immediate requirements to ensure viability in a fixed vision of the Northern College of tomorrow.
Northern College has its sights set firmly on developing the infrastructure required to meet the needs of our region, our industry and business partners, and our home communities.
Guided by our Strategic Plan, Northern is focused on five key areas which prioritize localized growth, investment, and alignment, grounded in the core mandate of Ontario’s College system: ‘to provide affordable, accessible, occupation-oriented education to meet local community and labour market needs.’’
Ontario’s northeast region is on the cusp of significant socio-economic change. The development of ‘nation build-ing’ critical minerals projects has the potential to transform this region, and Northern College will play a central role as a conduit for the highly skilled professionals required to facilitate that transformation.
To achieve this vision, Northern is re-invigorated in its focus on building relationships, establishing talent pipelines, and working in close alignment with industry and business partners, tailoring programs to directly meet those needs.
Within the following pages, you will gain a greater under-standing of how our institution is leveraging over 100 years of post-secondary experience to meet the needs of tomorrow’s workforce, through partnership, collaboration, and rooted in the guiding principles of our mandate as a community college.
