Strait Area Campus
The Strait Area Campus is home to an extensive Trades & Technology wing and the Business Innovation Centre, giving students real life work experience while they study. It's also home to the Nautical Institute and School of Fisheries divisions of the college that provide Transport Canada-approved marine training. Facilities for marine include an enclosed wave pool, fire field and state-of-the-art simulators for propulsion systems, navigation and global communications training.
