Convocation continues in the Comox Valley today and we can't wait to celebrate all of our grads as they walk the stage and start the next chapter in their journey.

It's officially convocation season! We celebrated the achievements of our graduates in Campbell River last week and today we host the first of three convocation events in the Comox Valley.

Congratulations to all of our grads — your hard work and dedication has paid off. You made it. We can't wait to see what you do next.

North Island College’s Centre for Applied Research, Technology and Innovation (CARTI) researchers are inviting the community to dive into the fascinating world of seaweed at a special Seaweed Film Night on June 3 at the Tidemark Theatre, presented as part of Ocean Week Campbell River.

This engaging evening will feature a curated lineup of short films celebrating the beauty, science, and cultural importance of seaweed along our coastlines. From kelp forest ecosystems to innovative research and restoration efforts, the films aim to spark curiosity and conversation about the vital role seaweed plays in ocean health and coastal communities.

In addition to the film screenings, attendees can expect a lively, festival-style atmosphere with opportunities to connect with researchers and learn about the variety of different seaweed locally and its various roles in the ecosystem, as well as enjoy free popcorn with special popcorn seasonings designed by Chef Jonathan Frazier from NIC’s Culinary program and more.
