Kwantlen Polytechnic University recently hosted a land awakening ceremony to mark the start of construction on its childcare centre project. The 61-space centre—developed in partnership with Métis Nation British Columbia—will be located at the university’s Surrey campus. The awakening ceremony included a blessing of the land and comments from representatives of the local First Nations. “The support of the Kwantlen, Katzie and Semiahmoo First Nations is vital for ensuring the education provided here will be culturally relevant and respectful as we walk the path of reconciliation,” said KPU President Dr Bruce Choy.
