自 1969 年以來，新喀裡多尼亞學院一直致力於滿足 BC 省中部內陸地區學生的需求，並自 1962 年起將 BC 職業學校納入其中。 （或全省的 12%），目前人口超過 148,000 人。該地區包括三個學區：#28 Quesnel、#57 Prince George 和#91 Nechako Lakes。學院提供全方位的職業、技術、職業和大學學分課程。年平均入學人數約 5,000 名學生。
1969 年 1 月，學院在「僅營運資金」的基礎上成立，由參與學區提供財政援助，並使用喬治王子高中的租賃設施。今年夏天，CNC 聘請了教師來教授首批專案的課程。
9月，註冊在中學主樓設立，來自各參賽地區的253名學生註冊。 1969年10月10日，學院在Vanier Hall舉行了正式開幕典禮，來賓們收到了新推出的學生報紙S’quun！ （Carrier 中的「火」）。
The College of New Caledonia has served the needs of students in B.C.’s Central Interior since 1969—and with the inclusion of the B.C. Vocational School, since 1962. The College region is approximately 117,500 sq. km. (or 12% of the province), with a population today exceeding 148,000. The region encompasses three school districts: #28 Quesnel, #57 Prince George, and #91 Nechako Lakes. The College offers a full range of Career, Technical, Vocational, and University Credit programming. Average annual enrollment is approximately 5,000 students.
In January 1969, the College was established on an “operating funds only” basis, with financial assistance from participating school districts and using leased facilities at the Prince George Senior Secondary School. Over the summer, faculty were hired to teach courses in the first programs to be offered at CNC.
In September, registration was set up on the main floor of the Secondary School and 253 students registered from all participating regions. On October 10, 1969 the College held its official opening ceremony at Vanier Hall where guests received the first issue of the newly-launched student newspaper, S’quun! (“fire” in Carrier).
