It is the embodiment of our core mission to provide accessible, comprehensive, current, and innovative education that meets the needs of our diverse community. It reflects our commitment to a learning and working environment characterized by encouragement, free enquiry, integrity, mutual respect, professionalism, recognition of achievement, and social responsibility.
Langara and Musqueam
Langara acknowledges its location on the unceded traditional territory of Musqueam and is working hard to develop strong connections between Musqueam and the College.
We are honoured to have received the name snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ from Musqueam. The name means house of teachings, and references the advice given to a child to build their character and to guide them into adulthood. The name was given to us in January of 2016, in a ceremony led by the late siem Henry Charles, who was a great friend to the College. Our name is pronounced sa-nay-with lay-lum (listen to the pronounciation).
It is our responsibility to move forward, build trust, and to put reconciliation into action. One step on that path is our dual logo branding system.
Musqueam bestow name on Langara College, January 11, 2016.
