Enrollment Up Again at Confederation College


Enrolment at Confederation College's Rainy River campus in Fort Frances is expected to break the hundred mark for a third straight year.

Classes resume for another year today.

Campus manager Anne Renaud says a variety of individuals are heading to college.

"We get students who are directly out of high school that want to take one year and move onto something else at a college or university in a bigger centre," says Renaud. "We have lots of mature returning students who have been out of school for a while and we have student enrolled through the province's Second-Career program."

Renaud says this year's numbers could come close to the 137 that attended classes last year.
