Shawn on NBCC: When attending NBCC over four decades ago, in my mind its primary focus was technical training. To me, as I look back, it became more than that. I was provided the foundation and tools I needed to develop a career that allowed me to stay in my home province and raise a family.

Now as I look at NBCC and what it has become since then, I cannot help but be excited and smile. The growth and development of such a high-level institution has shown our province that NBCC can be many things to many people. To be able to give back to my alma mater as a member of the Board of Governors is a privilege. My hope is that NBCC will continue to grow and provide the level of education that is needed in New Brunswick for another 50 years and more."

"NBCC campuses are located on Mi’kmaq, Wolastoq and Peskotomuhkati homelands. Since 1726 this land has been subject to treaties that are still in effect today. We are grateful to learn together on this land and do so guided by the original spirit of those treaties - peace, respect and friendship."
