Your "House of Learning"
Vancouver Island University, tiwšɛmawtxw campus, "House of Learning," is from land to sea the best place to learn in the qathet region. Here, Indigenous student supports, the Gathering Place, and Elders-in-Residence provide cultural and academic guidance to help students thrive.
Like deep cedar roots, education anchors us in ancestral triumphs. Learning heals old wounds, transforming historical hardships into leadership. It moves us forward like a steady river, strengthening our identity and safeguarding our future.
Through education, we reclaim our narrative, protect the land, and prepare the soil so our children stand strong, carrying our values into a changing world.
Vancouver Island University is committed to Indigenous Learners. We have a province-wide reputation for responding to the educational and community development needs of Indigenous communities and their learners.
