ICF Canada Institute (Atlantic)

ICF’s first Canadian global Institute, operating from New Brunswick Community College in Fredericton, was created to contribute to the acceleration of regional economic and community growth and spread the Intelligent Community model through workshops, consulting, research and events. 

The Institute is one of three such organizations licensed through ICF. Each Institute focuses on educating and assisting communities in becoming proficient in the Accelerator Strategy factors – connectivity, knowledge work, innovation, engagement, inclusion and sustainability.

New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) is a community college with campuses in Moncton, Miramichi, Fredericton, Saint John, St. Andrews and Woodstock across the province of New Brunswick. It offers more than 90 programs across 18 industrial sectors to students, who learn in a dynamic environment through hands-on training, state-of-the-art equipment and real-world experiences that prepare them to step into the workplace with expertise and confidence.

Mission

In its inaugural year, the ICF Canada Institute (Atlantic) will take advantage of existing ICF programs including Intelligent Community Certification, Community Accelerator training and Community Assessment. It will develop programs and projects specific to its region with a particular focus on accessibility technologies and their application to underserved communities across the country. The Institute will provide a highly visible stage for the global promotion of Intelligent Community innovations developed in New Brunswick, along with extensive international networking opportunities which will in return bring the best global innovations and Intelligent Community thinking into Atlantic Canada.
