IECC - Connection with Community

Invaluable nourishment

Cultural sharing connects you to traditional ways

Camosun and IECC host a number of events intended to enhance and celebrate Indigenous student success and encourage community development and wellness. Join us for National Indigenous Peoples Day, Orange Shirt Day, Salish Pit Cook and also for smaller activities for Indigenous students such as pizza day or learning the art of traditional basket weaving. 

Activities and Events

We work with local First Nations and Indigenous communities to identify and help develop and coordinate culturally sensitive programming and services. Elders, staff and faculty help guide you along your educational path – from your first inquiry to achieving your first goal, and if it's part of your plan, graduating and being prepared to professionally contribute to your community.

Academic Partnerships

For over 20 years Camosun's work in Indigenous education has been guided by the community-based Indigenous Advisory Council. This group shares perspective, knowledge, and direction right from community to the college.
