Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent accessibility improvements include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New visual fire alarms, providing visual emergency notifications in common areas and other residence spaces<\/li>\n<li>Vertical grab bars in roll-in showers in accessible suites<\/li>\n<li>Additional grab bars in washrooms<\/li>\n<li>Accessible washroom fixtures<\/li>\n<li>A fire extinguisher relocated to an accessible height (in identified common areas)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While these upgrades mark important progress, NC continues to identify barriers and opportunities for further accessibility improvements within its residence spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Director of Student Community Development Ali Weir said the impact of accessibility improvements can be significant for a student’s day-to-day experience.<\/p>\n<p>“For students with disabilities, these improvements can make everyday tasks easier and safer,” said Weir. “Things that may seem small to someone else can have a significant impact on a student’s ability to move through their day, participate in activities, and feel comfortable in their home.”<\/p>\n<p>In planning the improvements, Weir said the team considered how changes could support students throughout their residence experience.<\/p>\n<p>“We considered the diversity of needs within our residence community,” she said. “Accessibility can look different for every student, so it was important to think about flexibility, independence, safety, and comfort.”<\/p>\n<p>Weir noted that accessible residence environments can benefit the broader student community as well, particularly as students may experience temporary, situational or changing accessibility needs throughout their time at NC.<\/p>\n<p>“Ultimately, the goal was to create a residence environment where students feel supported and able to participate fully in residence life without having to navigate unnecessary barriers,” she said.<\/p>\n<p>For Samah Sabra, Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at NC, accessibility in residence also means considering a student’s ability to participate in the full residence experience and not just ensuring they can access their individual room.<\/p>\n<p>“This is an important element of inclusion and ensuring that students with disabilities know that residence is for them, and that means all of residence, not just their own, individual accessible room and the path there,” said Sabra. “They should be able to join in all on-campus events and activities.”<\/p>\n<p>Sabra highlighted the importance of collaboration across the College in creating accessible and inclusive environments, noting that accessibility involves all areas of campus life and cannot be addressed from one perspective alone.<\/p>\n<p>“Accessibility requires anticipating potential barriers, identifying ways to address them, planning to create new, accessible, inclusive paths, and coordinating all of our efforts and skills to make sure it happens,” she said. “Making sure that we consider the entire student or employee journey and taking into account how visitors and guests experience campus requires collaboration because we each have one piece of the puzzle, but unless we bring them all together, we will fall short of reaching our shared goal.”<\/p>\n<p>For Weir, the recent residence work has also reinforced the importance of considering accessibility proactively rather than waiting until someone encounters a barrier.<\/p>\n<p>“This initiative has reinforced for me that accessibility needs to be part of the conversation from the beginning when we are thinking about student spaces and experiences,” she said. “It shouldn’t be something we consider after the fact or only when a student identifies a barrier.”<\/p>\n<p>That consideration is particularly important in residence, where campus is not simply where students attend classes but where they live and build community.<\/p>\n<p>“Residence is more than just a place to sleep, it is a student’s home and a major part of their student experience,” said Weir.<\/p>\n<p>Sabra echoed the importance of creating spaces that anticipate and welcome people with disabilities as part of the campus community.<\/p>\n<p>“Campus is home to NC students. This is even more true when we consider residence since it’s literally where students live,” she said. “It’s important for the spaces we live, study, or work in to be designed with all of us in mind.”<\/p>\n<p>Sabra noted that part of addressing ableism (discrimination based on ability) is recognizing, anticipating and welcoming the presence of people with disabilities in NC communities and designing spaces and activities with them in mind.<\/p>\n<p>“Students with disabilities need to know that they are not an after-thought at NC, that they are valued and appreciated for who they are and everything they bring to our communities on campus,” said Sabra. “Our communities are not complete without them.”<\/p>\n<p>As NC marks Disability Awareness Week, Sabra hopes the initiative encourages members of the College community to continue looking for opportunities to identify and remove barriers.<\/p>\n<p>“Our biggest hope is that the NC community continues to think about and find ways to increase accessibility,” she said. “If anyone notices a barrier, whether it’s a physical or attitudinal barrier, we want to learn about it so we can work to address it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Niagara College recognizes Disability Awareness Week from Oct. 5-9, recently completed accessibility upgrades in NC’s residences are helping create safer, more inclusive living spaces for students.

It’s a unique opportunity to connect our region’s history with the next generation of craft beverage professionals.”<\/p>\n<p>“History on Tap is a wonderful opportunity for Niagara College Teaching Brewery to connect with the community while sharing our knowledge of brewing and exploring the important role beer production has played in Canadian heritage and culture,” said Amanda Baldinelli, Hospitality and Events Manager for the Niagara College Learning Enterprise Corporation. “It also gives our students further practical experience engaging with guests, who can enjoy a variety of NC Craft products, many of which are available to take home from our retail store or online.”<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brews, bites and ballads<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1688741 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event.webp 825w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-800x533.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-540x360.webp 540w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-338x225.webp 338w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-180x120.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/event-810x540.webp 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As autumn paints the Niagara River corridor in rich hues of red, gold and orange and cooler evenings settle in, step through the gates of Old Fort Erie for a different kind of journey into the past.

The featured products are produced at NC’s Teaching Brewery and Teaching Winery. Here, students have a hands-on role in crafting beverages from start to finish, working closely alongside expert makers to hone their craft.<\/p>\n<p>The selected beverages highlight authentic brewing and cider-making heritage. Guests will enjoy Butler’s Bitter, a modern take on the traditional English bitter style of the 1800s brewed with caramel malts and classic English hops.<\/p>\n<p>Originally released by the NC Teaching Brewery in 2012 as a flagship beer to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, this multi-award winning ale will feature its retro 2012 commemorative label applied directly to NC Craft cans exclusively for this event.<\/p>\n<p>“Not only is Butler’s Bitter a natural fit for History on Tap because it was originally brewed to commemorate the War of 1812, but we’re actually bringing back a piece of our own history in honour of the event,” said Brewmaster Professor Jon Downing. “We took the original Butler’s Bitter labels from the 650ml bottles and they fit perfectly on the front of the new cans so the retro designs will be used specially for this unique event.”<\/p>\n<p>Butler’s Bitter has consistently impressed at competitions, earning over a dozen industry accolades. These include gold at the Canadian Brewing Awards, and multiple golds and silver at the U.S. Open Beer Championship, and silver at the 2025 Ontario Brewing Awards.<\/p>\n<p>The lineup also features an India Pale Ale that highlights a historic brewing style originally formulated in the late 1700s and early 1800s for shipping to the colonies – specifically India – leading up to the first documented record of beer specifically called the 1820s “India Pale Ale.” The IPA won a silver at the U.S. Open Beer Championship in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Representing the traditional Leichtbier style first developed in the 1870s and popularized into the 1900s, the Light Lager offers a crisp clean profile. Also selected is a Porter, which is a cornerstone style of the 18th and 19th centuries, emblematic of the robust dark ales favoured by working-class soldiers and citizens of the period.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional Cherry Cider produced by the Teaching Winery reflects the longstanding historical tradition of blending seasonal fruit into apple ferments to impart a vibrant flavour and acidity. It won a bronze medal at the 2025 U.S. Open Cider Championship.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Explore NC Craft<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Niagara College is Canada’s leader in applied beverage education.

and Nimisha Sumathi:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Today marks the launch of our 2026 NC Cares in a United Way workplace campaign, and I am pleased to recognize this year’s Co-Chairs, Leah Neamtu and Nimisha Sumathi, and our dedicated NC Cares Campaign Committee, who are leading NC’s effort to support our local community.<\/p>\n<p>Giving back to the communities we serve has always been an important part of who we are at Niagara College. Year after year, our employees demonstrate their generosity and commitment to helping others through our annual United Way workplace campaign. Together, we have contributed more than $1 million to United Way over the years, making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families across Niagara.<\/p>\n<p>This year marks a new chapter for our longstanding partnership with United Way. Earlier this year, United Way Niagara joined with United Ways across the region to form United Way Golden Horseshoe, strengthening regional collaboration while maintaining its commitment to supporting local communities. In 2025-2026, United Way’s support in Niagara helped 139,497 people through 44 agencies and 87 programs and projects.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers are a powerful reminder of the difference we can make when we work together, and the importance of continuing to support the programs and services that so many people in our community benefit from.<\/p>\n<p>As we kick off this year’s campaign, I encourage everyone to get involved in whatever way you can. One of the easiest ways to give is through <a href=\"https:\/\/ess.niagaracollege.ca\/UnitedWayDonation\">NC’s online payroll deduction program<\/a>, where you can select a donation amount that works for you or make a one-time contribution. You can also visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/nccares\/\">NC Cares website<\/a>\u00a0to learn about other ways to donate and support the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Our campaign launches today, with online engagement opportunities and the opening of payroll deductions through the NC payroll portal. Over the coming weeks, our NC Cares Campaign Committee will share more opportunities to participate and get involved. I encourage you to follow along on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/nccares\/\">NC Cares website<\/a> and InsideNC for campaign updates.<\/p>\n<p>A big thank you to our NC community for your continued generosity and support. Whether through donations, volunteering or helping to spread the word, every contribution makes a difference and helps strengthen the communities where we live and work.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing our NC community come together once again, united #NCTogether, to continue our tradition of giving back and making a positive impact across Niagara.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

the inaugural Women in Law Enforcement event on Oct. 20.<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/justiceandfitness\/\">School of Justice and Fitness Studies<\/a>, the event will give students interested in law enforcement an opportunity to hear directly from female Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers about their career journeys, experiences and the diverse opportunities available within the organization.<\/p>\n<p>“Creating opportunities for students to connect directly with women working in law enforcement can help them better understand the profession, ask questions and see the range of career paths available to them,” said Scott Wade, Associate Dean, Justice and Fitness Studies. “We’re pleased to welcome OPP officers to Niagara College to share their experiences and provide our students with an opportunity to learn more about careers in policing.”<\/p>\n<p>Chief Superintendent Karen Gonneau, Investigation and Support Bureau, OPP, will be among the featured speakers. She will share insights from her career with the OPP and discuss the many pathways available within the organization.<\/p>\n<p>“This event is an invitation for women to discover, connect and be inspired,” said Provincial Constable Abby Whitnect. “Come experience the OPP and explore where your future could lead.”<\/p>\n<p>The evening will begin with an information session where OPP officers will speak about their careers and roles within the organization, followed by a recruitment presentation led by Whitenect. Students will learn about the OPP application process, what to expect throughout recruitment and how to prepare for interviews.<\/p>\n<p>The event is designed to provide a welcoming space for women exploring a career in policing to ask questions, gain insight into the profession and discuss some of the barriers women may encounter when considering a career in law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to try the shuttle run, a standard fitness test used as part of the policing recruitment process.<\/p>\n<p>Whether students are just beginning to explore a career in law enforcement or are already considering applying, the event offers an opportunity to meet recruiters, learn about the profession and take a practical step toward the recruitment process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/niagara-opp-womens-focused-shuttle-run-and-information-session-tickets-1999294613007?atf=oddtcreator\">Register for the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women from across Niagara College are invited to connect, ask questions and explore careers in policing at the inaugural Women in Law Enforcement event on Oct. 20.

Youdale also served as an ambassador in 2024 and has been supporting the Gillian’s Place annual pancake breakfast at the St. Catharines Market Square – backed by volunteers from the School of Culinary Arts and Benchmark behind the griddle – for the past 10 years with\u00a0 support from the Community Relations and Events team.<\/p>\n<p>“I have always felt that Gillian’s Place does such amazing work and I enjoy finding opportunities to support them,” said Youdale, who noted that the College has been a long-time supporter of Walk a Mile.<\/p>\n<p>“This is the second time I have been asked to be an ambassador and it’s an honour to try and bring attention to a great organization and an important issue in our community.”<\/p>\n<p>Under Youdale’s leadership, the ‘NC Walk Stars” have formed – a growing team of more than a dozen staff and faculty members who have volunteered to join Youdale in the Walk a Mile event on Saturday, October 17 at the Pen Centre. To date, the recruits include Duane Bender, Erik Mauke, Jon Downing, Victor Oliveira, Matt Orr, Greg Stout, Gary Torraville, Michael Wales and NC SAC President, Hish

Gillian’s Place. To support the initiative, over 500 cookies were carefully prepared and decorated by student volunteers from the Baking and Pastry Arts program, led by Chef Professor Catherine O’Donnell.<\/p>\n<p>The students volunteered their own time to bake, pipe and detail the cookies with intricate designs. The project proved to be about more than practicing their pastry skills – it was “milk and cookies” for the soul.<\/p>\n<p>“I didn’t really know what it was about at\u00a0first, but I do a lot of volunteering and it was really fun to do,” said student Mikayla Langdon, who took on the baking. “It’s nice to know it’s for a good cause.”<\/p>\n<p>“It was a very good learning experience as a Baking student, but it was great to learn more about the project behind the cookies as well,” said Sky Paul.<\/p>\n<p>The high-heel cookies will be available for purchase starting October 7 ($2) while supplies last.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purple Mile Saison<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The NC Craft Beverage Centre is also getting into the spirit with a unique custom brew, Purple Mile Saison. The purple-infused beer, made with butterfly pea flower to create its unique hue, was specially crafted by Brewmaster Professor Jon Downing, along with staff and students at the Teaching Brewery.<\/p>\n<p>“I’m proud to support Gillian’s Place and since I’m on the NC Team that will Walk a Mile on October 17,” said Downing. “Creating a beer to honour Gillian’s Place was a way staff and students at the Teaching Brewery to get into the spirit of creating awareness for this important initiative for its milestone twentieth year.”<\/p>\n<p>With about 200 cans available, the special brew will be available for purchase at the NC Craft Beverage Centre starting October 7 while supplies last (also available at the Core and Armoury.)<span data-teams=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Coffee for the Walk Stars<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A special Coffee Day is percolating.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, October 7, in the Culinary Arts caf\u00e9, all proceeds from coffee sales will be donated to Gillian’s Place.

The event will also feature entertainment with DJ Marinko.<\/p>\n<p>Don’t miss Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 3 (1-4 p.m.) at the NC Craft Beverage Centre (outdoors).<\/p>\n<p>General admission is $15 – or $10 for NC students and employees, as well as NC Craft members. With an extra $10 food add-on, guests can enjoy German-inspired food like bratwurst on a bun, German potato salad and braised cabbage.<\/p>\n<p>A limited number of tickets are still available for the festivities.
