Eeyou Istchee College celebrates official launch

Eeyou Istchee College of Science and Technology celebrated its official launch in Chisasibi earlier this week. The college is a not-for-profit, English postsecondary institution that is rooted in principles that place Indigenous culture and language at the forefront. It will serve the James Bay area, in addition to welcoming students from the neighbouring regions of Nunavik and Naskapi. “For the first time, higher education that is grounded in Cree values and fueled by innovation is now available here in the North, for the North,” said the college in a statement on Facebook.
