In the Foundations in Business English program, they are learning how to communicate, collaborate and apply their skills from a business perspective.

Sika Patton, an ELC teacher for the program, describes how students get to take a business challenge from start to finish. “They were very creative in their business ideas and dedicated to learning as much as they could from the course.”

Artwork by Nulis, Hayalthkin’geme, Carey Newman’s, Kwakwaka’wakw/Coast Salish artist, reminds us of the responsibility to listen, learn and take action with open hearts.

💬 The red hand represents the ongoing resistance by Indigenous peoples. The Heart and Hands design "was made to honour the children who died in residential school." In terms of reconciliation it calls for us to listen and learn with open hearts and use our hands for the work that needs to be done. The words ‘every child matters’ is to ensure children around the world are protected and kept safe. — Nulis, Hayalthkin’geme, Carey Newman
