History
Originally Nova Scotia's post-secondary specialized training and vocational institutes operated independently, however on 2 April 2006, the Nova Scotia Community College was created by an act of the provincial legislature as a means to centralize administration, coordinate funding and remove program duplication (An Act Respecting Collège de l'Acadie and the Nova Scotia Community College). Since then, the NSCC network of campuses has evolved into a province-wide, community-based, community college, with polytechnical, applied arts and health science educational programs.
