Graduates of the 2022 fall semester will be the first to receive the bilingual parchment.
Kwantlen Polytechnic University graduates can now receive their diploma in both the Indigenous language of Kwantlen First Nation and English.
The move is part of the polytechnic’s reconciliation efforts and aims to raise awareness of the traditional language of the territories and encourage respect for the land-based Nations. Zena Mitchell, associate vice-president of enrolment services and registrar at KPU, said KPU is always committed to reconciling with the Kwantlen First Nation, and this initiative is an important step to honour the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language, and “send our graduates off in a good way.”
