Canada HomeShare and its partner, Happipad, are proud to offer intergenerational home sharing with New Brunswick Community College at their St Andrews and Miramichi campuses.  

​

Located along the banks of the beautiful world-famous Miramichi River, the NBCC Miramichi Campus is part of one of the prettiest communities in New Brunswick. The St. Andrews campus, meanwhile, is in a historic seaside community on the Passamaquoddy Bay known as one of Canada’s first resort towns.

​

For both cozy, tight-knit campuses, home sharing was an obvious choice for students and community members alike seeking to strengthen the communities’ small-town charm and welcomeness while meeting demand for housing solutions.

​

Ann Drennan, Vice President, Academic, Innovation and Student Affairs at NBCC, is pleased that students will have another option when seeking accommodations.

​

“Through this partnership, we’re hopeful that our learners will find a comfortable space that really feels like home away from home,” said Drennan. “We’re excited about the ways that inter-generational housing can be an enriching experience for everyone involved: students can secure safe, affordable accommodation during their studies, and seniors benefit by getting a little extra income, companionship and, in some cases, a bit of help around the house.”
