Surrounded by Canada’s largest high-tech community, our well-equipped Campus — one of the largest in Ontario — is minutes from parks, museums and the world-famous Rideau Canal.
Pembroke
Situated on the Ottawa River, Pembroke is a vibrant community known as “the heart of the Ottawa Valley.” The waterfront Campus provides programs in diverse fields — carpentry, outdoor adventure, forestry and police foundations, to name a few. With access to biking, snowmobiling, kayaking and a host of exciting outdoor activities, living and studying in Pembroke is a unique experience enhanced by a friendly and supportive environment.
Perth
Our Campus in the historic town of Perth, with its many heritage buildings, offers the intimacy of small classes in such specialized programs as Business Agriculture and Heritage Carpentry, among others. You’ll also appreciate a welcoming community with a lively arts scene and plenty of outdoor and recreational activities.
Student lifestyle
Students should connect with the Algonquin College Students’ Association (SA) for more information on the clubs and events on campus. Algonquin’s many clubs can open the door to student life by giving you the chance to collaborate and create a unique community experience. From sports and politics, to gaming and culture, there is often a club that can meet your needs.
As Canada’s capital, Ottawa is the perfect place to experience some of the country’s best attractions, celebrations and flavours. You can tour Parliament Hill, visit many of the country’s national museums, and paddle, cruise or skate on the Rideau Canal—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lively neighbourhoods beckon you with tasty craft beer, fresh local food and unique shopping experiences while outdoor spaces offer a wide range of activities including cycling, rafting, hiking and skiing. And no matter the season, events like Winterlude, the Canadian Tulip Festival and Bluesfest fill the city with excitement.
