WEYBURN — Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College is making strategic changes to its Moosomin campus operations to better utilize resources and enhance educational offerings. Starting July 1, 2025, the college will close its storefront campus location.
Over the past two years, the Moosomin campus has seen minimal use, hosting the Electrician program for just 18 weeks each year. The campus was last staffed by a part-time one-stop associate, and since summer 2023, has been staffed on an as-needed casual basis.
The college will continue to offer part-time Early Childhood Education (ECE), English as an Additional Language (EAL), and various business and industry training programs in Moosomin through rental and lease agreements. It will also explore opportunities to offer full-time post-secondary programs in the community and surrounding areas.
To accommodate the Electrician program, which is scheduled for Winter 2026, Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College plans to utilize the unoccupied space at the Whitewood campus for training equipment.
“The combination of economic challenges and declining student demand is the main reason for the change,” said interim president and CEO Jody Holzmiller. “Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College remains committed to the town of Moosomin and surrounding areas. We intend to continue offering on-demand programming for many years to come and look forward to renewing community conversations that support our goal of increasing programming opportunities.”
Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College offers various programs both on and off campus throughout the southeast region of Saskatchewan. It remains committed to providing innovative, flexible programming that enables students to learn where they live, the college said in the media release.
