Canadore College of Applied Arts and Technology

Canadore College offers degree, diploma, certificate, apprenticeship and academic upgrading programs in aviation studies, business management, trades and technology, Indigenous studies and biotechnology and environmental studies. The school has three campuses in North Bay and one in Parry Sound. Three apartment- and townhouse-style residences are available near North Bay’s College Drive campus. 

The Village is Canadore’s health and wellness facility, focused on the integration of Indigenous, Eastern and Western healing and wellness practices. It acts as a model for intergenerational living, combining community and senior care with teaching, skills training and applied research, all focused on holistic care across all life stages. 

Indigenous students make up 15 per cent of the student population. Among the school’s resources for Indigenous students is the First Peoples’ Centre, which has a design inspired by natural elements and the teachings of the medicine wheel. 

Canadore offers specialized facilities for media studies, including a post-production centre that features a mix stage, a colour correction room and dialogue replacement equipment. Canadore’s student films are nationally recognized every year at the Canadian Media Educator awards.
