“I commend the College of Northern Canada (CNC) and the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation (CITT) for establishing the first Center of Excellence in Logistics Learning in Northern Canada. This great initiative will serve as a catalyst to advance the priorities we formulated in the Northwest Territories (NWT) Transportation Strategy 2015-2040. The road, air, rail, and marine transportation systems play a critical role in the history and development of the NWT and continue to support sustainable communities and a growing economy into the future.”

Tom Beaulieu,
Former Minister of NWT Transportation and CNC Indigenous Advisor.

“We are honoured to be recognized as the first Center of Excellence in Logistics Learning in Northern Canada. As an enthusiastic environmentalist, I believe that providing world-class logistics education – tailored to the unique needs of northern and Indigenous communities – is an important way of protecting the environment, addressing various supply chain issues, and supporting self- governance and self-determination initiatives of Indigenous peoples across Canada.”

Dr. Chehrazade Aboukinane,
Environment and Sustainability Expert and CNC President.

Community Oriented Professional Courses at CNC

All professional courses at CNC are thoughtfully designed to support both emerging professionals seeking to launch their careers in a practical, structured environment, and experienced individuals looking to upgrade their skills and advance in their current roles.
The Northwest Territories of Canada has seen a recent boom in industries including mining, natural resources, construction, infrastructure development, renewable energy initiatives, Indigenous-led tourism, agriculture, food security, logistics, resource development, and services industries – thereby creating exciting new work opportunities in these areas. We at CNC aim to prepare young talent with assistance from industry-leading experts and qualified faculty to help them push their personal boundaries to the limit and to bring a holistic development approach to our community.

What makes us different in Canada

Inclusive and
equitable access

The College of Northern Canada (CNC) is dedicated to providing accessible, inclusive programs that accommodate learners from diverse backgrounds and educational goals. Through a range of short programs and flexible learning pathways, CNC enables learners to pursue professional microcredentials and recognized designations tailored to evolving workforce needs.

Community-centered education

We understand that leaving one’s community for school can be very challenging, and we have a variety of online learning options for that very reason.

Alternative academic assessment

At CNC, we recognize that traditional examinations are not the sole or most effective measure of student learning. To provide a more comprehensive evaluation of knowledge and skills, our assessment approach incorporates a balanced mix of individual and group assignments, in-class discussions, and applied, project-based work.
