Truth and Reconciliation
Truth and Reconciliation at snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ Langara is an ongoing commitment that takes the efforts of all non-Indigenous students and colleagues across our College community on personal, professional, and academic levels.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 2015 Report has calls applicable to the education sector specifically in Calls #62 and #63, and requires professional development training for public servants in Call #57; these and many other calls are applicable throughout Langara and we encourage you to become familiar with them.
We are grateful to be able to do this work on the traditional, ancestral, unceded, and present-day lands of the Musqueam who have stewarded them since time immemorial.
