Keyano College recently celebrated the grand opening of the Bouchier Indigenous Student Centre, a new space designed to support Indigenous learners and celebrate Indigenous cultures. The centre features a ceremonial area equipped for smudging, offices for Elders and student support navigators, and a kitchen and area for large gatherings. Indigenous art from the region is incorporated throughout, and the design reflects four key themes: equitable representation, honouring First Peoples, cultural gathering spaces, and educational opportunities. At the celebration, Keyano also unveiled its new land acknowledgement. “The opening of the Bouchier Indigenous Student Centre is not just a milestone for Keyano College; it represents a commitment to enhancing understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures across the community,” said Keyano Interim President Dr Sandra Efu.
