Campus Welcome

One of Okanagan College’s key directions is working with, and learning from, Indigenous communities. The College is dedicated to providing culturally relevant support to Indigenous students as they journey towards their personal, educational and career goals. Thoughtful Indigenous spaces can be found on each of the College’s four campuses, including Indigenous Student Centres at each campus, the gathering place at the Salmon Arm campus and Indigenous outdoor gardens: Na’ʔk’ʷulamən garden in Kelowna, K’nmakaʔ Sənqâtən garden in Vernon and a new Indigenous Garden in Penticton. These areas hold space and recognize the traditional ways and knowledge of Indigenous peoples of the region. Okanagan College respectfully acknowledges that our Penticton, Kelowna, and Vernon campuses are located on the unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan, our Salmon Arm campus is located on the unceded territory of the Secwepemc, and our Revelstoke Centre is located on the unceded territories of the Ktunaxa, Secwepemc, Sinixt and Syilx. Kukwstec-kucw, on behalf of all of us, thank you. 2
