Contact North/Contact Nord

About

Contact North/Contact Nord increases the number of underserved Ontario residents who take online programs and courses from Ontario’s colleges, universities, Indigenous institutes, and other providers while remaining in their community. We recruit and provide free support services to students in 1,500+ communities across the province, in person at locations across the province, or by phone, email, live chat or virtually. Our services are available in English and French.

In 1986, Contact North was established by the Ontario government to provide fully bilingual access to courses and programs offered by colleges, universities and high schools to residents of Ontario’s norther communities. Contact North remains primarily funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Due to popular demand, Contact North is now available province wide.
