The College of New Caledonia and Lheidli T’enneh First Nation have signed a memorandum of understanding named lhoh nus ts’et’oh Tuition Initiative, which means “We are Paddling Forward Together.” The two parties have committed to deepening their relationship and collaboratively supporting Lheidli T’enneh members’ access to postsecondary education with wraparound services and tuition support. “Education has always been, and will always be, a key part of our vision for the future of the Nation,” said Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dolleen Logan. “With CNC, we are paddling together – side by side – to create real opportunities for our members and to ensure that Lheidli T’enneh knowledge and culture are visible, valued, and celebrated within the community.” Elders, community members, and representatives from the college gathered to witness and celebrate the signing of the MOU.
