The Aboriginal Advisory Council is an Aboriginal community-based Council that provides direction to the President regarding Indigenous programming, partnership, and services at Camosun College. The Council meets five times a year. All Indigenous programs must be vetted through the Council.
To make a presentation to the Aboriginal Advisory Council meeting, contact Doreen Provencher.
