October 19, 2023

Northlands College, which has physical campuses in La Ronge, Creighton, Air Ronge and Buffalo Narrows has added another one as it recently launched the Northlands College Metaverse Campus.

Northlands is one of the few colleges in Canada to establish a full campus presence in the Metaverse.

The college touted the achievement as a new era of transformational learning that helps them continue to push the boundaries of education and integration of technology across Northern Saskatchewan.

Karsten Henriksen, the President and CEO of Northlands College, said the initiative is part of the college’s Year of Transformation in 2023.

“That Year of Transformation is really about where we are going as Northern Saskatchewan’s post-secondary institution,” Henriksen said.

“Northland College is demonstrating leadership on a national level and I think it’s high time that northern residents are proud of the innovation that happens in northern and rural remote communities, not only in northern Saskatchewan but from coast to coast to coast.”
