In his keynote address to the Canada International Conference on Education (CICE-2014) at Cape Breton University, CBU president Dr. David Wheeler will make an appeal for “fundamental reform” of the University sector across Canada if it is to maintain international competitiveness and help create the conditions needed for a better world. 

A new exhibition opens for the summer season at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery. Doing Our Own Thing: Back-to-the-Land in Eastern Canada during the 1970s examines the histories and legacies of the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s.

Building on its strength in Aboriginal post-secondary education, today Cape Breton University (CBU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Listuguj Education Directorate that will allow for the delivery of CBU’s Bachelor of Arts Community Studies (BACS) degree program in Listuguj First Nation, Que. This is the first time that CBU will offer programming in a First Nation community outside of Nova Scotia. Currently, CBU delivers programming in First Nation communities’ province wide.

Aboriginal students from across Nova Scotia who participated in this year’s Business Network for Aboriginal Youth celebrated the end of their program this week. The closing conference began in Millbrook First Nation on June 3 and ended in Indian Brook First Nation on June 4.
