BRITISH COLUMBIA VIEWBOOK

INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 2022/2023

BCIT
The British Columbia Institute of Technology acknowledges that
our campuses are located on the unceded traditional territories
of the Coast Salish Nations of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish),
səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam).

For some Northwest Coast First Nations, a Copper—a traditional copper

shield—symbolizes wealth and power. Knowledge is power. A Copper gains
value the more it changes hands and is broken and put back together. Life
can be challenging, but much like a Copper, our students build strength as
they gain knowledge and overcome challenges. That is why we chose the
Copper to symbolize the Indigenous Vision.

The Indigenous Vision provides a focal point for BCIT’s commitment to

the enrolment and success of Indigenous learners. By embracing Truth
and Reconciliation and promoting Indigenization throughout the BCIT
community, we will honour Indigenous people, knowledge, and culture,
while preparing learners for success in a complex world through an
education that is complete and relevant.
