CBBC Career College Training Salon & Spa

Inclusion on our campuses is something we have to build every single day. 🏳️‍🌈✨

As we celebrate Pride Month, we're reminded that our inclusive communities were built by courageous local trailblazers. From the historic streets of Halifax to the close-knit communities of Cape Breton, our history is one of grassroots advocacy.

Halifax: In 1988, 75 people marched in the city's first Pride March. Facing discrimination and safety threats, some wore paper bags over their heads to protect their identities. Today, that brave protest has grown into a festival welcoming over 50,000 people.

Cape Breton: Organizing grew out of crisis and compassion during the 1990s AIDS epidemic. Early advocacy focused on healthcare and safe spaces, leading to Sydney’s first official Pride Parade in 2000.

Help us keep building. As students, faculty, and staff, let’s honour the past by continuing the work of inclusion, education, and mutual support on our campuses.

Stay tuned as we share upcoming campus Pride events, resources, and ways you can get involved.

We are officially 1 week out from the 2026 Skills Canada-Nova Scotia National Competition and 2 of our very own salon students are heading to Toronto!

Please join us in wishing the best of luck to:
✂️ Luca Decoff, competing in Hairstyling
💅 Baharjeet Kaur, competing in Aesthetics

From May 28th to 29th, Luca and Baharjeet will be putting their incredible skills and hours of hard work to the test, competing against the top student talent from across the country.

Comment below to wish Luca and Baharjeet good luck before they head out next week! Let’s show them the whole community is behind them!

Please be advised that our campuses are closed today, Monday, May 18 in observance of Victoria Day. We will resume normal operations and classes on Tuesday, May 19.

Have a safe and restful long weekend!

The Sydney campus Aesthetics crew recently made a trip to the local Salvation Army to provide some well-deserved pampering for program participants. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to put their technical skills to work while making meaningful connections right here in our community.
