MISSION To include all learners. To challenge our thinking. To remove barriers. To provide opportunity. To make all learning count. VALUES Respect Inclusion Creativity Teamwork Resilience Acknowledgement of Territory Bow Valley College is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis” which we now call the City of Calgary. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.

  • Media Release for Immediate Release
    Media Release For Immediate Release Enrolment positive at Alberta’s 11 Colleges Slave Lake, AB - September 22, 2016 – With the 2016-17 academic year now underway, the 11 Colleges across the province are reporting increased enrolments in academic programming. “The enrolment numbers are looking bright for Colleges in our province,” says Joel Ward, Red Deer College President & CEO. “When we look at the numbers collectively, comparing this year’s enrolment numbers with those from the 2015-16 year, the 11 institutions are showing exceptional enrolment growth in academic programming, with an increase of over 9%.” Ward attributes the strong growth in part to the number of Albertans who lost their jobs and are reentering post-secondary to reskill and retrain in preparation for when the economy rebounds. “Government funding has increased over the past two years and this has also enabled Colleges to offer new programs, which contributes to the strong growth in enrolment,” he says. Some general trends can be found when comparing enrolment numbers, as six institutions reported increases in business and business administration programs. Other areas of growth included health and human service programs, university transfer programs and upgrading. “Northern Lakes College continues to experience enrollment growth. Our health programs - the EMT-Paramedic and Practical Nurse program are oversubscribed – all seats are full and we have a waitlist” says Ann Everatt, President & CEO. “Academic Upgrading and University Studies enrollment continue to climb over last year. Our distance delivery model works well and allows students to attend post-secondary without leaving their home community.” - 30 – About Alberta’s Colleges: For local perspectives, please contact any of Alberta’s Colleges, which include: Bow Valley College, Grand Prairie Regional College, Keyano College, Lakeland College, Lethbridge College, Medicine Hat College, NorQuest College, Northern Lakes College, Olds College, Portage College and Red Deer College.

    SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS ALBERTA Public Education Advocacy A CITIZEN’S TOOLKIT 2 INTRODUCTION This toolkit provides an introductory explanation of how student funding works and breaks down how you can take actions in your community, school, and as an individual to take a stand for public education in Alberta. TABLE OF CONTENTS About SOS Alberta . 3 Alberta Education Fast Facts – The Landscape . 4 The Funding . 5 Alberta’s Voucher System . .. 7 Neo-Liberal Eduspeak Decoded . 9 SOS Alberta Toolkit: ACTIONS . 11 Myth Vs Reality . 15 Other Resources . 17 Support Our Students Alberta 3 About SOS Alberta Support Our Students Alberta is a grassroots, non-partisan network of Albertans born on the playgrounds of public schools in Calgary in 2015. Concerned with looming education cuts proposed by Jim Prentice’s PC government, Calgary parents organized to push back against oversized classrooms, shrinking budgets, over reliance on fundraising, long bus rides and lotteries for school access. The group has evolved over the years, and through our advocacy we have learned the chronic underfunding of public education is not a local, or provincial phenomenon, but rather part of a larger strategy to privatize public education. We believe public education belongs to Albertans. Our vision is of an equitable accessible and universal public education that meets the needs of all students. Support Our students is 100% volunteer run. Our work involves communicating with advocates across Alberta and internationally. We produce all kinds of content, from reports, to video, podcasts and public comment. We have hosted several screenings of the enlightening documentary Backpack Full of Cash, and speak across the province about the need to protect and reclaim public education.
