On behalf of Langara College I wish to share our concern for the escalating situation in Ukraine and to offer some resources for support. We know that employees and students in our community have direct connections, friends and family, who are impacted in the region. We encourage you to reach out if you need academic or personal support.
There are many resources and services available to you.
