For nearly five decades, Niagara News, NC’s former student-run newspaper, captured life at the College, from campus events and student experiences to community news and milestones that helped shape its history.<\/p>\n

Originally created by the College’s Journalism-Advertising Department in 1971, the newspaper provided students with hands-on reporting experience while keeping the campus community informed.<\/p>\n

Now, nearly the entire collection has been preserved digitally and made available online through NC’s Libraries and Learning Centres (LLC).<\/p>\n

The newly digitized collection spans from the earliest issue in the College’s archives, published in April 1971, to the newspaper’s final issue on March 13, 2020. With only a small number of issues missing, the archive provides a look back at almost 50 years of College and community history.<\/p>\n

The project was led by NC Library Technicians Kent Reynolds and Sheri Waldie, who coordinated the scanning of decades of physical issues and their addition to the College’s online archive.<\/p>\n

Issues from 2010 to 2020 had previously been digitized and provided to the LLC by the Journalism-Print program. Earlier editions, however, remained in physical form in a filing cabinet in the College’s archive room.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the importance of protecting the aging collection, the LLC digitized the newspapers to preserve this piece of College history and make it more accessible for the NC community to explore.<\/p>\n

“As a graduate of the former Journalism-Print program here at Niagara College, I know the integrity that went into the reporting and creation of these papers,” said Waldie. “It’s so important to preserve the valuable contribution that print media made to the historical events and facts of the college and community.”<\/p>\n

Almost 50 years of news, first-hand accounts, opinions and records of significant events are now preserved as a resource for historical research, general interest and anyone interested in exploring NC’s past.<\/p>\n

A newspaper by students, for the College community<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Niagara News<\/em> itself was an important part of the College’s history.<\/p>\n

Originally created by Niagara College’s Journalism-Advertising Department, the newspaper served a dual purpose: providing campus and community news while giving students a practical newsroom experience. In later years, it was produced by students in the Journalism-Print program.<\/p>\n

Much like reporters working at a community newspaper, students were assigned beats and responsible for covering College events, academic departments and programs, the Student Administrative Council, student life and community news. The paper also featured special features and opinion pieces.<\/p>\n

Producing the newspaper was an extensive undertaking for students on top of their regular class hours. First-year students would take over production in April while second-year students completed placements at other newspapers, then continue producing the publication throughout the fall and winter terms until the following March.<\/p>\n

The newspaper’s original newsroom was located in the former Black Walnut Building.<\/p>\n

A snapshot of NC history<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Among the stories preserved in the collection is one highlighting an innovative project from 1978, when the College’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Society built an electric car out of an old Volkswagen.<\/p>\n

The story is one of many in the archive that offers a look at student innovation, campus life and the people and projects that shaped NC over the decades. It can be found on page 8 of the March 17, 1978, issue of Niagara News.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The timing of the completed archive is particularly fitting as NC approaches its 60th<\/sup> anniversary. The collection provides students, employees, alumni and the broader community with an opportunity to look back at the College through the reporting and perspectives of the students who documented its history as it happened.<\/p>\n

craft.<\/p>\n<p>Now the 2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/winebeerspirits\/program\/brewmaster-brewery-operations\/\">Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management<\/a> program alumnus is ready to tap into his expertise to lead an upcoming NC Craft Masterclass, “Beer: 4 Ingredients.”<\/p>\n<p>Scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, September 29 (6:30 to 8:30 p.m.) at the NC Craft Beverage Centre, the interactive session invites the public to look past the pint glass and discover how just four basic building blocks – water, malt, hops and yeast – can produce an endless spectrum of flavour.<\/p>\n<p>“One of the things we love about NC Craft is the opportunity to take the knowledge and expertise developed in our programs and share it directly with the community,” said Brad Tandy, Events and Marketing Coordinator with NC Craft. “Lachlan brings a great combination of technical knowledge and enthusiasm to this masterclass, and we’re excited to give guests a chance to experience beer from a completely different perspective.”<\/p>\n<p>For Robertson, who is currently expanding his credentials as an Artisan Distilling student, leading the session marks a proud full-circle moment.<\/p>\n<p>“I’m thrilled and honoured to have been given an opportunity to display the intricacies of the beer world to the public, and to provide a snapshot of the unique learning experience that I was given through Niagara College,” he said. “Events like this are crucial to the continued appreciation and success of small breweries as it provides the public an inside look at the challenges and care that goes into crafting products that are enjoyed so widely.”<\/p>\n<p>During his time in the Brewmaster program, Robertson served as class chair for Project Brew – the program’s signature beer festival. That experience, paired with his time behind the beer counter at the NC Craft Beverage Centre, revealed a genuine community appetite for brewing know-how.<\/p>\n<p>“Having the chance to interact with patrons at our Project Brew event … showed me there was a hunger for more knowledge related to our craft,” he said. “Presenting that knowledge in a setting such as this is a fantastic way to keep our patrons engaged with the Teaching Brewery and provide a few tasty treats along the way.”<\/p>\n<p>Robertson credits the College’s faculty and the practical training he gained in the program for giving him the technical foundation to demystify complex brewing science for an audience.<\/p>\n<p>“The main way the program was able to assist me was providing a comprehensive education that tied together the history, technical and practical aspects of the brewing industry,” he said. “The information, passed along by such a wonderful and engaging group of professors and brewers really gave me confidence in the world of beer.”<\/p>\n<p>Attendees can expect a structured “compare and contrast” flight to showcase how altering a single variable changes everything from mouthfeel to aroma. Robertson will guide guests through the sweetness and colour provided by malt, the bitterness and bouquet of hops, the complex fermentation flavours created by yeast, and the critical, mineral-driven profile of water.<\/p>\n<p>“Coupling some historical comparisons, historical and scientific explanations behind the choices made within a brewery setting and ingredient handling procedures, guests will be able to further understand what makes each style of beer created here at NC so representative,” said Robertson.<br \/>\nAbove all, he hopes guests leave with an educated palate and stories to share around their own tables.<\/p>\n<p>“Mostly, I’m excited for our guests to try those beers with the benefit of perspective,” he said. “Now they’ll be able to pass it along to their friends and family and having gained a deeper understanding of what went into the can.<br \/>\nTickets for the two-hour evening session are $59 for the general public and $49 for NC Craft Club members.

awareness of the atrocities of Canada's residential school system. With determination, wisdom and kindness, Senator Sinclair remains steadfast in his belief that the path to actual reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people requires understanding and accepting often difficult truths about Canada's past and present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alanis Obomsawin shares the powerful speech the Senator gave when he accepted the WFM-Canada World Peace Award, interspersing the heartbreaking testimonies of former students imprisoned at residential schools. The honouring of Senator Sinclair reminds us to honour the lives and legacies of the tens of thousands of Indigenous children taken from their homes and cultures, and leaves us with a profound feeling of hope for a better future.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n\t\r\n\t<figure class=\"image d tb none\" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/edi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2026\/08\/cbc_honourtosenator_ott_background_v03.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Senator Murray Sinclair\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\t\r\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sensitive Content Warning:<\/strong> This film has content that may be sensitive for some viewers.
