Gilakas’la NIC respectfully acknowledges we operate within the unceded traditional territory of the Kwaguł.
NIC's Mixalakwila campus serves students throughout Northern Vancouver Island, including Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Port Alice, Alert Bay and Sointula. Located in the heart of Port Hardy at the Thunderbird Mall, the 6,000 square foot campus is centrally located for students and provides a modern, up-to-date and student-focused location to support student learning.
NIC was honoured to receive the Kwak’wala name Mixalakwila, meaning "maker of what’s been dreamt about." The Elders chose Mixalakwila because they believe the College is a place where your dreams for the future can come true.
Getting Here
Located in the heart of Port Hardy, the Thunderbird Mall is easily accessible for students in Port Hardy and those commuting from near-by communities. The campus is accessible by walking, driving or by the Mount Waddington Transit system. Learn more about Port Hardy.
