Indigenous Supports

91九色网 is about celebrating the languages, cultures, and traditions of Indigenous, M茅tis, and Inuit students.

We blend cultural worldviews into our curriculum and offer Indigenous-specific programs. Support services include counselling, tutoring, help with college applications, and a welcoming social environment at Enji Maawnjiding, the 鈥淲here We Gather鈥 Indigenous Centre.

Here, education and life go hand in hand. You鈥檒l have access to Elders, Indigenous professors, and instructors, and you can join your Indigenous Students鈥 Union. We offer scholarships, bursaries, and awards just for Indigenous students. Community is key, so don鈥檛 miss out on student events, feasts, the annual powwow, and the Sacred Fire Arbour.

The Indigenous Education Council (IEC) is an advisory council to the College鈥檚 President and Board of Governors.
