Maritime College of Forest Technology /

The Maritime College of Forest Technology (French: Collège de Technologie forestière des Maritimes) is a Canadian post-secondary college with campuses located in Fredericton, New Brunswick (English instruction) and Bathurst, New Brunswick (French instruction). The college traces its history to the establishment of the Maritime Forest Ranger School in Fredericton in April 1946 under joint funding from the governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick as well as the forest industry of both provinces. The francophone program in Bathurst was started in 1982 and the facilities at the present Fredericton campus were completed in 1986. The school was renamed in 2003. The Fredericton campus and college headquarters is located at the Hugh John Flemming Forestry Centre at the southern end of Regent Street, adjoining the University of New Brunswick woodlot. The Fredericton campus accepts 50 students each year for a newly-redesigned 2-year diploma program (originally 12 months). School facilities include classrooms, training laboratories, research areas, workshops, as well as a residence and cafeteria.
