2023: Welcome Back!

January 3, 2023

Welcome back! It’s 2023 and we hope everyone had a safe and relaxing winter break. Most classes started up again today, so here’s a look at upcoming events and observations for January:

  • Our first-ever cohort for Pathway to IT Programs starts today! Welcome future IT students!
  • Today is the first anniversary of Jamie Wilson becoming the VP, Indigenous Strategy, Research and Business Development at RRC Polytech!
  • Tomorrow is National Ribbon Skirt Day, and we invite everyone to wear their ribbon skirt! We’re planning a ribbon skirt-making workshop! More information to come.
  • We’ll be hosting meet-and-greets with our new Knowledge Keeper Richard Curé in the next couple weeks at both campuses! Stay tuned for more details.
  • RRC Polytech and the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce are hosting an Indigenous Student Career Fair on January 18! There will be opportunities for networking, interviews, and headshots. Keep an eye on our blog for more information and to pre-register.
  • Next week, the winter cohort for Compass Skills starts!
  • Elders and Knowledge Keepers rest their bundles for January, so the Sweat Lodge schedule will resume in February.
