First Nations Traditional Territory:
We respectfully acknowledge that our Prince George campus is located on the unceded traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. We are grateful for their graciousness for welcoming knowledge-seekers to their territory. Through our 6 regional campuses, we are proud to serve and build relationships with 22 First Nations across the region. Guided by the voices and traditions of the communities we serve, we are committed to creating spaces where Indigenous students feel seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
Aboriginal Resource Centre (ARC)
The Aboriginal Resource Centre (ARC) provides information and support before and after you become a CNC student that will help you achieve your educational goals. We strive to provide culturally safe services and facilities to Indigenous students.
ARC staff liaise with the students’ Indigenous communities & organizations to support their success.
ARC provides a drop-in Study Centre and supports culturally safe activities for Indigenous students. The Staff at ARC provide moral support, encouragement and “a friendly listening post” to Indigenous students whenever possible.
