WHAT WE DO

As its name suggests, Northumberland Learning Connection is about making connections between subject matter experts and our local community. NLC has been bringing great speakers and compelling topics to Cobourg and Port Hope, Ontario since 2005.

NLC explores geopolitics, history, literature, the physical environment, philosophy, the arts, and science and technology. Our 6-8 event, multi-disciplinary programs typically run in the spring and fall.  They feature several speakers bringing their own area of focus and expertise to a broad subject – and often include outings with a lighter focus.  Periodically, we hold stand-alone events on a newsworthy topic. Add your name to our email list on the home page so you’ll be sure to hear about upcoming events.

We video our live presentations when possible, and will occasionally feature Zoom-only events for speakers who are unable to travel. You can view videos of the events we have held since April 2020 on our YouTube channel, and see all of our topics since 2005 listed at the bottom of the Past Programs page.

NLC is a registered charity (#80522 3005 RR0001). Your donations are always appreciated, and can be made online or by mailing a cheque to P.O. Box 64, Cobourg, Ontario, Canada K9A 4K2. We encourage you to become a CONNECTOR - a Supporting Member of NLC.
