A meaningful journey: RRC Polytech is updating its Indigenous visual identity

January 29, 2025

Reflecting the College’s deep commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, Indigenous student success, and our Strategic Plan priorities, we’re honoured and excited to embark on a journey to update our Indigenous visual identity. And, we’d like your help along the way.

To lead this important work, we have partnered with Narratives Inc., a creative agency specializing in culturally grounded consultation and design, who is supporting us with an Indigenous-led team

Narratives is working with a Steering Committee, representing areas from across the College, and alongside the Knowledge Keepers Council, to ensure this work is led with care, integrity, and Indigenous ways of knowing.

Together, we will undertake a collaborative process with input from students, staff, and community partners, including you – our alumni.

A key component of the College’s brand, the updated Indigenous visual identity will serve as a guiding resource for how RRC Polytech visually represents Indigenous cultures (Inuit, Métis, Status and Non-Status First Nations), stories and relationships across formal communications such as marketing materials, business cards, advertising, signage, and presentations.

It will complement our corporate visual identity, while highlighting and celebrating Indigenous knowledge, innovation and leadership at RRC Polytech.

Learn more about why this matters and why we’re embarking on this journey.

How You Can Participate

Your voice is essential to this process. Whether Indigenous or non-Indigenous, we value your feedback and hope you will share your perspectives, stories, and insights with us.

We encourage you to reflect on how this project can contribute to our shared journey toward Truth and Reconciliation and inspire meaningful connections for generations to come. Join one of the many in-person engagement sessions hosted by Narratives on RRC Polytech campuses, and share your perspectives, stories, and reflections through the online survey.

This is an opportunity to help shape an identity that will resonate deeply with Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences alike and represent the values that are important to our community.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate, and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
