North Island College (NIC) and 19 Wing Comox are building on their longstanding partnership with a new, temporary housing arrangement that will see Canadian Armed Forces members accommodated in tul'al'txw, NIC's new student housing complex in the Comox Valley.

The partnership supports members who are training at 19 Wing Comox by providing access to up to 60 beds while the base advances longer-term housing solutions. The arrangement is expected to be until Summer 2027, with the potential for renewal as housing needs evolve.
"This partnership reflects how we can work together to respond to real and immediate needs, while staying grounded in shared values of learning, service and community," said Lisa Domae, NIC President and CEO.
