Ontario Street Site, 155 Ontario St., St. Catharines, ON

Officially opened in March 2007, the Ontario Street satellite site is home to the College’s Practical Nursing and Personal Support Worker programs, and represents a unique partnership with the Niagara Health System (NHS). Through this partnership, students benefit by learning in an environment that mirrors the workplace and provides access to the expertise of the Niagara Health System’s healthcare professionals. The NHS, in turn, benefits by having the opportunity to recruit highly trained graduates. Launched in 2006, the Practical Nursing program is designed to help meet the high demand for Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) across the healthcare system.
The College’s facilities include the former Intensive Care Unit of the NHS Ontario Site (formerly Hotel Dieu hospital), which has been converted to a practical learning lab for the students in both programs. The lab includes patient beds, medical equipment and a nurses’ station. Program offices are also located on the fifth floor, and classrooms are on the first floor. The site is also home to the college’s Contract Training and Continuing Education Health Sciences programs.
