Truth and Reconciliation and Community Engagement
RRC Polytech is dedicated to transforming spaces, bridging cultures, and fostering stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. Our goal is to be the top choice for Indigenous learners across Manitoba and beyond.
At the core of reconciliation are trust, respect, and inclusion. Our evolving strategy focuses on education, curriculum development, and community engagement. Through industry partnerships, we ensure Indigenous students transition to culturally inclusive workplaces.
Indigenous Strategy, Research, and Business Development continues to explore new ways to integrate industry into our educational models.
Reconciliation is a shared responsibility. By working together, we can move forward together that’s mutually beneficial to all peoples.
