This update shares important news regarding SLC’s presence in Eastern Ontario: Effective immediately, SLC will return to calling all three of its locations “campuses.”

From feedback also received from government and community partners and college donors, the decision was made to return to the terminology of “campus” for all SLC locations rather than referring to Brockville and Cornwall as “learning centres.”
