Welcoming Week 2022

September 12, 2022

Did you know that September 9th – 18th is Welcoming Week?

Welcoming Week is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the people, places and values that help everyone feel welcome and that they belong in their local community. These values are important at the Language Training Centre and RRC Polytech.

Help celebrate Welcoming Week by participating in a variety of activities this week, including:

  • Watching this website throughout the week for messages from the RRC Polytech and Language Training Centre leadership team
  • Reading inspiring stories by staff and students that will be posted here and on LTC’s Facebook page
  • Participating in the following on-campus activities on Sept. 15th between 1pm – 3pm
    • English Conversation Club in-person kick off
      • Have fun and meet new people while practicing your English (E235 – Manitou a bi Bii daziigae) 
    • Welcoming Week photo booth
      • Write a welcome message/word, take a selfie at our photobooth (E210 – Manitou a bi Bii daziigae) 

Let’s celebrate some of the things that make RRC Polytech, the Language Training Centre and Canada great at Welcoming Week 2022!

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, 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.
