Welcome to Canadore College, where great things happen.
So at Canadore, this building opened up in the Fall of 2011.
And now, Canadore has been in Parry Sound for probably 5-6 years and we offer a number of different program.
So this room here is called the 'Flex Shop' so we use it for a number of different things.
For the last two years we've used it for our pre-construction class which is an 8-week
program where students have an opportunity to learn some of the basics of construction.
Two of our main programs that we offer here at Canadore are the practical nursing program
and the personal support worker program. We have two intakes starting in September 2013.
Here we are in the upgraded classroom. We do math and English upgrading. So we're looking
at gaining a grade 12 equivalency. We have 10 courses in the ACE program. You need 4
credits to gain an equivalency. So we work away, there's a continuous intake, there's
no start date, there's no stand up teaching so everyone works at their own pace in a relaxed
environment and work toward their goals. We've got a great counselling department here to
support them. We help them with trying to find a pathway for them whether it's apprenticeship
or post-secondary or employment. So we are standing in our student lounge.
This is one of our nicer rooms at the campus, primarily because of all of the windows that
are looking over onto water. So this room, this is where the students come and hang out
and basically either work in a group or work individually.
So we're now standing on one of our nice spots at the Canadore campus which is our back desk,
as you can see. We have a beautiful opportunity to overlook the trees and there's a small
pond behind me here. It's just a great place for us when the weather gets a little warmer
for the students to come in and do some of their group work out here.
