In 2017, the President’s Indigenous Advisory Committee was formed. This group was formed to amplify the voices of Indigenous partners and celebrate the gifts their ways of knowing and culture bring to Portage College.
The committee created a plan titled “Our Voyage of Togetherness” to advocate for partnering with Indigenous elders and knowledge keepers, communities, industries, and agencies. We're very fortunate for this support.
