2008-2009 Annual Report
Executive Summary
This year was the NWT College systems 40th anniversary, and we celebrated this milestone throughout the NWT all year long with feasts, dances, public events and a special launch ceremony at the Great Hall of the Assembly. In each case, we celebrated our four decades of service to the people of the North, and we proudly carry that tradition of service into the future.
The past year has had a number of highlights of which we are justifiably proud. Thanks to our partnerships with government and industry, we have acquired new training facilities, new equipment and new programs with which to address the training needs of NWT residents.

Strategic Plan
Executive Summary
Aurora College is the public college of the Northwest Territories,
established as a Board-governed corporation by the Public Colleges Act.
Our mandate is to deliver a broad spectrum of adult and postsecondary
programs to meet the needs of individuals, communities and the labour
market. Through the Aurora Research Institute, we are also responsible
for scientific research activity and innovation that responds to
Northern priorities. Committed to excellence, we serve the college
mission: Aurora College is dedicated to excellence, leadership and
innovation in Northern education and research.
Adult and postsecondary education in the NWT has always been guided by
values grounded in Northern experience and by an evolving sense of what
is possible. Three core values express Aurora College’s philosophy of
education: respect for the diverse needs of our communities, excellence
in all aspects of college activity and access to our programs and
services.
This is our third strategic plan. Our first two strategic plans, which
we called corporate plans, laid the foundations and set the direction
for our development to date. Recognizing that we are a maturing
institution, we have chosen to extend the timeframe for the new plan to
ten years instead of five and to formally call it a strategic plan.
