Kettle and Stoney Point First Nation, and the people in and around the area now have the ability to get their degree, diploma or any other learning certificate without having to leave the community, as Four Winds Community Employment Services now house Contact North’s new learning centre.
Located at 9111 West Ipperwash Road, the new site opened on Friday, and gives residents access to many free services like information on programs that are available online, and courses from Ontario’s nine Indigenous institutes, 24 public colleges, 23 public universities, 76 school boards, 200 literacy and basic skills providers and 20 skills development training providers.
This online learning centre is the first to be opened in an Indigenous Community in Contact North’s Southwest Region.
