Strengthening Connections

Strengthening Connections is a team of recruiters and advisors who visit both urban and rural Indigenous communities throughout B.C. The team is comprised of representatives from public and Indigenous post-secondary institutions and is joined by federal and provincial government departments and crown corporations.

Strengthening Connections’ mission is to increase the participation of Indigenous learners in post-secondary education. The team accomplishes this by bringing critical academic and financial assistance information to Indigenous learners so that they can make well-informed choices and successful transitions to post-secondary.

Strengthening Connections has been doing this important work since 2005-2006.
