In response to the ongoing impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and State of Emergency Orders for Ontario, Oshki-Pimache-O-Win: The Wenjack Education Institute has had to make the difficult decision to cancel programming as follows:
Semester 2 of the Practical Nursing Diploma program is cancelled for Fall 2020. In response to insufficient program enrollment as well as the ongoing impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and State of Emergency Orders for Ontario, Oshki-Pimache-O-Win: The Wenjack Education Institute has had to make the difficult decision to cancel Semester 2 of the 2020 Practical Nursing Diploma program, effective July 1, 2020. Continuation of your program may still be available to you directly from our partner institution, Confederation College, if you choose to join them. Otherwise, Oshki-Wenjack welcomes you to re-join our next cohort of PN students in 2021 (Semester 2 starts Fall 2021).
Affected students are instructed to please advise your sponsors/funders, if applicable, that there will not be a continuing semester for your program until next fall.
