WCC was founded in Radville, Saskatchewan. The school was also located in Weyburn, Saskatchewan and Dauphin, Manitoba before it settled in Regina. It occupied the former premises of the Ambrose University College and Seminary, which moved from Regina to Calgary.[1]
On January 31, 2012, it was announced that Western Christian College's board had voted to cease its operations effective June 30, 2012, after 67 years of operation. The group cited declining enrollments, having only 76 students (of only one were in its collegiate program).[2][3] The building continued operations as the Orr Centre, which housed its auditorium, offices, and a University of Saskatchewan nursing campus. In 2018, it was proposed that the property be redeveloped as a retail centre. Demolition began in 2019.[4][1]
