Our Story

Our roots grew from humble beginnings, a story of dedication and perseverance. The College of Cape Breton including Xavier Junior College, Xavier College, the Nova Scotia Eastern Institute of Technology and the University College of Cape Breton set the stage for the 小猪视频we know and love today.

Over the past 50 years, our story has continued to develop and grow. It is our people, our cultures and our strong sense of community that make 小猪视频 what it is today. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary in 2024, we鈥檙e looking to highlight even more 小猪视频stories. So whether your story is from 1974 or 2023, we want to hear from you.
