    “Viewpoints” on Reconciliation: Indigenous Perspectives for Post-Secondary Education in the Southern Interior of Bc

    “VIEWPOINTS” ON RECONCILIATION: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BC 2020 Project Synopsis By Christopher Horsethief, PhD, Dallas Good Water, MA, Harron Hall, BA, Jessica Morin, MA, Michele Morin, BSW, Roy Pogorzelski, MA September 1, 2020 Research Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Executive Summary This research project synopsis presents diverse Indigenous community perspectives regarding the efforts needed to enable systemic change toward reconciliation within a public post-secondary educational institution in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The main research question for this project was “How does a community college respectfully engage in reconciliation through education with the First Nations and Métis communities in the traditional territories in which it operates?” This research was realized by a team of six Indigenous researchers, representing distinct Indigenous groups within the region. It offers Indigenous perspectives, insights, and recommendations that can help guide post-secondary education toward systemic change. This research project was Indigenous led within an Indigenous research paradigm and done in collaboration with multiple communities throughout the Southern Interior region of British Columbia. Keywords: Indigenous-led research, Indigenous research methodologies, truth and reconciliation, Indigenous education, decolonization, systemic change, public post- secondary education in BC, Southern Interior of BC ii Acknowledgements This research was made possible through funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The important contributions from the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Syilx, and Métis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, youth, men, and women within this project are essential to restoring important aspects of education that have been largely omitted from the public education system.

  • Environmental Scan 2019

    Environmental Scan 2019

    Environmental Scan 2019 INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH Executive summary The Environmental Scan 2019 considers the demographic and economic context, government priorities, and trends in post-secondary education that might relate to Langara’s mission as Canada’s pathways college. There are three parts in the Environmental Scan 2019: the first discusses broader trends in the Vancouver area and British Columbia as a whole; the second discusses trends specific to Langara and other post-secondary institutions in the province; and the third discusses Langara’s internal enrolment trends and ongoing initiatives. Broad external trends The largest group of Langara students are in the 18- to 24-year-old age range and live in the College’s service area, made up of the Vancouver, Richmond, and Burnaby school districts. While the populations of the College service area and of BC as a whole continue to grow, we have seen decreases in the population aged 18-24, a trend that is reflected in decreasing numbers of grade 12 students in local high schools. This decrease is expected to reverse by the end of the 2020s; meanwhile, recent trends suggest Metro Vancouver will continue to see new residents arrive from other provinces and from outside Canada. Strong economic growth in BC has caused the unemployment rate to drop to its lowest level since the 2008/09 recession. With the lowest unemployment rate and the highest job vacancy rate in Canada, BC is in need of skilled workers; however, the availability of work might be an incentive to delay post-secondary training. Over the next decade, more than three-quarters of new job openings will require some level of post-secondary education.
