At Canadore College and Nipissing University, we believe all students and employees have a right to work and study in an environment free from any sexual violence or harassment.  Our policies already address the issues raised by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities; however, our institutions will complete the review as outlined by the ministry.

In June of this year, the federal government legislated September 30, 2021, as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. As President, I am declaring that Nipissing University will recognize this day as a holiday, and as such, remote and in-person classes will be cancelled, and employees will not be required to report to work.  

Let's get loud Lakers and cheer on Nipissing University alumnus, Rob Shaw (BPHE '14) as he represents Canada at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Paralympic Games in the sport of wheelchair tennis.
