Through the Protocol, College of the Rockies commits to create curriculum and provide services and learning environments that respect indigenous values and cultures.

“We are proud of our 40-year relationship of working with Ktunaxa, Shuswap and Métis people,” says Chung.  “As education is an important step toward self-determination and socio-economic development of Indigenous communities we look forward to continuing to strengthen these relationships and to support the learning needs of Indigenous peoples.”
