Through a substantial grant from Human Resources Development Canada, a Video Production facility named Concorde Mediavision studio was constructed at Gander Collegiate. Through use of this facility, and in combination with a partnership arrangement with Cable Atlantic's Gander Studio as well as the support of corporate partners in Gander, students learn valuable skills through instruction as well hands-on video production experience.
