Okanagan College Aboriginal Services

Join Kelowna Aboriginal Services and Counselling Services this Wednesday for an hour of open dialogue focused on the possibility of returning to campus in Fall 2021. This event and your responses will not be recorded. The purpose of this event is to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone to discuss and share their stories. What are you excited for? What concerns do you have? Are you ready to come back to campus if the proposed plan to return goes ahead?... Is there anything you will miss about virtual classes? This virtual sharing circle will take place from 10:30am-11:30am on Wednesday March 31st, 2021. Please email [email protected] to request your Zoom link. Please note that this event is reserved for current Okanagan College students from all campuses.
