Vancouver Community College

Vancouver Community College is a public post-secondary institution in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1965, it is the largest and oldest community college in British Columbia, with over 140 certificate and diploma programs. VCC has two campuses, Broadway and Downtown, all located in the city of Vancouver. Vancouver Community College, formerly Vancouver City College, was established in 1965 by bringing together the Vancouver Vocational Institute , The Vancouver School of Art , the Vancouver School Board’s Night School Program and the King Edward Senior Matriculation and... Continuing Education Centre . In the early years, classes were held at the King Edward Centre – named after King Edward VII, the reigning head of the state of Great Britain and Dominion of Canada . VCC’s Downtown campus opened in 1949 in response to a growing awareness of the need for practical, technical, and vocational training. In October 1970, yet another campus was built at Langara to accommodate VCC’s rapid growth.
