Niagara College staff and faculty were on hand to provide information about Niagara College’s 130+ programs, as well as student services, careers and learning pathways, campus life, student services and more. Representatives from all 24 Ontario colleges were also on site to welcome over 1,000 local high school students from Niagara.
“The College Information Program is an important local event for secondary students to explore college in Ontario,” said Phil Hayes, associate director, Recruitment at NC. “Niagara College was happy to welcome grade 11 and 12 students from the region to learn about all that college has to offer in an engaging and informative setting.”

A key stop along the six-week tour across the province from September 23 to October 30, the CIP was a chance for Niagara students to meet with representatives from all 24 colleges locally and to learn about unique programs only offered at Ontario’s colleges, careers and pathways, admissions requirements, campus life, housing, student services, and more.
NC provided busing for high school students in the region, with students coming from schools as far as Grimsby and Dunnville. NC had information booths for all academic schools and all student services, giving high school students a chance to have one-on-one conversations with faculty and college students enrolled in programs.
