Portage College has 7 campuses in Northeast Alberta and they are located in Frog Lake, Cold Lake, St. Paul, Boyle, Saddle lake, Goodfish Lake and the main campus is in Lac La Biche. The Men's Hockey team, Men's and Women's Soccer/Futsal teams are based out of the Lac La Biche campuses because of our practice times and travel arrangements. The Golf and Curling team athletes can be located in any of our 7 campuses but the availability of practice and the commitment to attending tournaments will be required. 

Why should you start your Voyage through post-secondary with us? 

Portage College is a smaller post-secondary institute with Lac La Biche campus being the biggest location with 500 students. When you look at class sizes most of our classes have between 16 to 24 students in each class (Power Engineering being the exception with 33 students - our biggest). The Portage College instructors really get a chance to watch you grow and develop as a student in the classroom with the smaller class room sizes. You aren't a number here - you have a name and the instructors care about you, and want to challenge you to grow as a student and as a human being. As a student-athlete we will work with you to assist in your personal growth and see you leave our institution with your Academic Goal achieved and as a young adult ready to attack the world.
