About Northern Lights College

Northern Lights College opened officially in September 1975.

The first president of the College was Dr. Barry Moore (1975-1979), who had been a senior administrator at Grande Prairie Regional College.

Dawson Creek was the College’s main centre, due to the existing facilities from the vocational school. Dawson Creek offered academic, vocational, career and continuing education courses. As programs and staff expanded, it was determined that a separation was needed between the Dawson Creek centre and regional administration.
