As the P/S department is always changing and trying out innovative and exciting ways to reach our students, we have now joined the “Facebook Revolution”.
Our group page is titled “Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council Post Secondary Education Department” and we encourage all students to join in us in this new form of communication.
The P/S Facebook page is a community of students and NTC P/S staff (as well as staff from other institutions) and is a place to share current information regarding post-secondary deadlines, events and other important information that may effect you.
We encourage you all to join - if you have already signed-up please encourage all the friends and family you may also have in funding
