Thank you EPCOR for your generous donation of $130,000 for First Peoples' House (FPH) and the Transition Year Program (TYP) for programming over the next three years to help support students who are interested in pursuing degrees in STEM.

Yesterday, alumna Melody McArthur stopped by for a visit. Since her graduation in 2015, she has become a successful musician and champion of indigenous rights in the criminal justice system. Thank you for your generous donation and for sharing your story with us!

Today is Orange Shirt Day! Join First Peoples' House and our students in wearing your orange shirt to honor and remember the residential school experience and commit to reconciliation.
