Happy Friday, Pictou Campus!

While most programs are just nearing the end of their first month of term, our blended Practical Nursing students (who started in January 2025) have entered their final term with us! This week they put on a very successful mental health fair in our A-Wing learning commons teaching students and staff alike. Congratulations on all your hard work! 🎉
