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. Students enjoy the Strait's modern spacious environment and student-run cafeteria. The town of Port Hawkesbury's civic centre is close by with its popular local hockey team, as are bustling pubs like "Papa's" where NSCC students enjoy a 10% discount on the food.
