When alumnus Rachel Cranford initially transferred to Nipissing University’s Fine Arts program during her third year, she didn’t anticipate just how much the university and the city would shape her future. At the time, she had recently moved to North Bay with her partner, who had accepted a local job offer. While the move was initially driven by convenience, Cranford quickly discovered that Nipissing was a natural fit.

Earlier today, the North Bay Youth Volleyball Club Jr. Lakers, Nipissing University, and Canadore College proudly celebrated the grand opening of the Education Centre Beach Volleyball Courts. The four-court facility is the result of a collaborative partnership aimed at promoting youth engagement, athlete development, and community collaboration through sport.
