RDC signs Indigenous Education Protocol
Red Deer College officially recognized its responsibility to Indigenous education on Thursday with the signing of the Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) Indigenous Education Protocol.
RDC President and CEO Joel Ward says the signing makes a very public statement in support of Truth and Reconciliation.
“In particular, this institution’s commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all Indigenous learners,” says Ward. “Not only in terms of the safety and the environment of the College but also what does curriculum look like to ensure that we respect Indigenous tradition, what does delivery of our curriculum look like to support student learning in Indigenous communities.”
