Aboriginal Student Resources
Dahooja! Welcome to Lhtako Dené Nation Territory, part of the Southern Dakelh.
Are you an Aboriginal Student?
In collaboration with the Aboriginal Advisor/ Liaison, CNC Quesnel provides culturally safe services and facilities to Aboriginal Students. We offer students access to information about entering college, choosing career paths, and accessing funding to attend school. Working together, we will assist you in your educational journey at CNC.
