United World Colleges (UWC) is a global movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.The UWC National Committee of Canada (NCC) is a volunteer-powered organization responsible for the recruitment and selection of Canadian students wanting to attend UWC, including, but not limited to, Pearson College UWC in British Columbia. The NCC provides support and guidance to the Regional Chapters in Canada's provinces and territories who conduct selection across the country. The NCC serves as a hub to provide support to UWC students and their families while attending UWC and is a growing network for UWC alumni from and in Canada.Canada first established a UWC national committee in the late 1960's to send students to the first UWC, Atlantic College in Wales. Members of that National Committee went on to help found the second UWC College in the movement - Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific, in 1974. From the mid-70's to 2016, Pearson College served as the National Committee of Canada. In 2016, the UWC National Committee of Canada was re-established as a not-for-profit charity in Canada.We host a variety of events for all the UWC Alumni based in Canada and also run online webinars to support prospective students and parents in their application process each summer and fall.
