In 1995, NVIT was designated as a Provincial Institute under the British Columbia College and Institute Act making our programs and courses accredited within the province. After spending years in the downtown core of Merritt, the long awaited Eagles' Perch campus opened in 2002. Five years later, another campus was added in Vancouver along with the opening of much needed student housing in Merritt. Construction began in the fall of 2009 in Merritt on the Lecture Theatre / Daycare building which will open in the spring of 2010. Growth has also come in our enrolment as communities outside of the Nicola Valley, like Bella Coola, Kingcome Inlet and Chase, took advantage of our renowned Community Education Department last year, taking programs important to the unique needs of their community and community members. Education is now more accessible than ever here at NVIT where students can earn credits toward a university degree on campus in Merritt or Vancouver, online or in their own community. Looking back, growth has come from all facets but the commitment and vision of NVIT and its supporting communities remains the same. Exploring knowledge from an Aboriginal perspective is giving our people the Education, Strength and Leadership we need to enhance our communities.
