Langara College – *snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓* – is a place of beginnings, of belonging, and of impact. In 2016, the College was honoured to receive the name *snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓*, meaning “House of Teachings” in the traditional hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language of the Musqueam people, on whose unceded territory Langara is located.
This name is more than a symbol – it’s a responsibility. It reflects our commitment to learning that is grounded in respect, care, and connection. It reminds us that education is not just about information – it's about transformation.
Rooted in Indigenous teachings and dedicated to inclusive excellence, we’re building a future where every student is supported to go farther. Your gift helps build that future – one teaching, one learner, one life at a time.
