Langara is a college that prioritizes sustainability, inclusion, and community engagement, with indigenization as the essential link connecting us all.

We are a public college located in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam First Nation. We are honoured to carry the name snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓, meaning house of teachings, which was gifted to us by Musqueam. This name reflects our deep commitment to learning, community, and respectful relationships.

Today, Langara is one of BC's leading post-secondary institutions, providing programs and courses to more than 16,000 students annually.
