Fairview Campus to continue serving learners with community-led path forward.

Alberta’s government worked with local partners to identify Northern Lakes College as the new post-secondary learning provider at the Fairview Campus. This made-in-the-Peace-Country solution will keep post-secondary learning local in northern Alberta, starting September 2026.

Students in the Town of Fairview, the Peace Country and surrounding communities will continue to have access to post-secondary education through both the Northern Lakes College Fairview Campus and the Northwestern Polytechnic Grande Prairie Campus.

“Our government heard clearly how important Fairview Campus is to students, families and the community. As an established public comprehensive community college in northern Alberta, Northern Lakes College’s program offerings at the Fairview Campus will provide stability for learners and create the foundation for a community-led future that reflects the needs and strengths of the Peace Country.”
