Niagara College launched its new athletics bus today during stops at the Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake Campuses.
Niagara College athletics has partnered with Great Canadian Holidays & Coaches to provide the Niagara College Knights varsity athletics teams with a bus they can call their own. The 56-seat coach is a travelling billboard for Niagara College and its athletics programs, with College logos and athletics action photos on the exterior. The bus has been designated for use by Niagara College's varsity athletics teams for the remainder of the 2009-2010 season.
“This initiative presents a unique opportunity to raise Niagara College’s profile province-wide as our student athletes travel to games and matches throughout Ontario,” said Niagara College Vice President of Student and Community Relations Sean Kennedy.
The bus is also available to College academic programs for field trips, and is available for charters through Great Canadian Holidays & Coaches when not in use by Niagara College.
More than 120 student athletes compete on Niagara College’s six varsity sports teams, which include men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, and men's and women's volleyball. Niagara College athletics also includes seven tournament teams, including mens and women's and mixed curling, men's and women's golf, and men's and women's indoor soccer. The Niagara Knights compete in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association Western Region.
