Prevention

The safety of our students, faculty and staff is a priority and our Emergency Response Plan and infrastructure helps ensure we are prepared for various emergencies that could threaten NorQuest’s community. 

Security and Emergency Infrastructure

NorQuest has invested in technical infrastructure, resources and emergency processes to enable an organized and effective response to emergencies.  Some of the highlights include:
  • uniformed, certified security personnel
  • on-site health services – registered nurse
  • video surveillance
  • on-site automated external defibrillator
  • mass notification technology – beacons, signage and text messaging
  • security lighting and patrolled parking
Note: Infrastructure may vary by campus – contact Facilities Management at emergencyprep@norquest.ca or phone: 780.644.6215 for more details.

  • Stay home from school if you become ill
  • Stay within well-lit areas
  • Secure vehicles and personal belongings
  • Do not leave personal belongings unattended
  • Familiarize yourself with NorQuest College emergency procedures, fire evacuation routes and contact information
