Indigenous Education Council (IEC)

The Indigenous Education Council (IEC) is an advisory council to the college’s President and Board of Governors.

Our commitment to helping Indigenous students achieve their fullest potential plays an essential role in developing an institutional strategy for meeting Indigenous student and community educational needs,
as well as further creating an environment of social inclusion – one that seeks and promotes intercultural sharing. Indigenous refers to the Original peoples – First Nation, Métis and Inuit peoples.

Mission

The Indigenous Education Council is committed to addressing Indigenous Education at ˽ÈËÓ°Ôº so we may ensure that the seven generations hereafter will have culturally appropriate education available to them.
