Cumberland College

Founded 2023 | Multiple Campuses, SK

In summer 2023, Cumberland College and Parkland College officially merged to form Suncrest College. Both schools have a rich history in Saskatchewan, and the new name reflects that. The sun represents new growth and a new beginning for the newly merged college in one of the sunniest provinces in Canada. The crest represents the colleges’ shared vision to exceed the needs of their learners, partners and communities. 

Suncrest offers diplomas, certificates, adult basic education, apprenticeships, and university courses in fields such as business, agriculture, health sciences, trades, and more. Serving as Suncrest’s head office, the 29,000-square-foot Trades and Technology Centre in Yorkton includes a trades shop, a power engineering lab, a welding and fabrication shop, and six customizable classrooms. Suncrest draws on existing relationships, resources, and facilities of the former Cumberland and Parkland colleges to offer a combination of excellent labs, classrooms, and community alliances.
