As part of the explorASIAN Festival, Vancouver Premier College proudly hosted a "Dialogue between Eastern and Western Philosophy." Esteemed scholars were invited to the college to explore the intersections, contrasts, and symbiosis between Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. This event fostered enriching discourse and promoted transcultural understanding.

VPC Student Council organized an event at the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge over the Victoria Day long weekend. It was well attended by both student council members and students. The gorgeous weather offered a scenic and enjoyable outing for everyone involved.

As part of the Call to Action number 80, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada called on the Government of Canada to establish, as a statutory holiday, a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to honor survivors, their families and communities, and, to ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital aspect of the reconciliation process.

On June 3, 2021, the Government of Canada established September 30 as a statutory holiday for all federally regulated workers which was followed by the Province of BC marking that same day, September 30, as Truth and Reconciliation Day.

While the statutory holidays do not apply to private educational institutions like VPC, as a member of Vancouver's post-secondary education community, Vancouver Premier College stands with all public and private education institutions in support of our First Nations peoples and in the recognition of the Truth and Reconciliation process and day of commemoration.

I have provided below a link to the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and would encourage everyone to strengthen their personal awareness and understanding of the intergenerational impacts of residential schools and colonization on local and urban indigenous populations by reviewing this summary report this September 30.
