Welcome to BCIT

Different than a college or university, the British Columbia Institute of Technology offers practical, flexible, applied education with instructors who have direct, hands-on experience in their field.

BCIT is one of British Columbia’s largest post-secondary institutions with more than 48,000 students enrolled annually (16,600 full-time, 31,600 part-time). We offer practical career credentials designed for the workplace, including degrees, diplomas and certificates spanning Applied and Natural Sciences, Business and Media, Computing and Information Technology, Engineering, Health Sciences and Trades.

Established in 1964, BCIT now has five main campuses as well as satellite locations province-wide. BCIT’s international partnerships span training, education and research initiatives in South America, Central America, East Asia and Eastern Europe.

Mission: Partnering learners and industry for success through workforce development.

The British Columbia Institute of Technology acknowledges that our campuses are located on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Nations of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam).

Reconciliation at BCIT

Reconciliation and Indigenization

BCIT is located on the unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nations. BCIT has been educating and inspiring students for over half a century on their traditional lands and for that, we are grateful. We acknowledge that the relationship with Indigenous peoples in Canada has been troubled and must be reconciled; we are deeply committed to working with our partners to address these issues.

We are guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Actions, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, and the Aboriginal Post-Secondary Education and Training Policy Framework and Action Plan: 2020 Vision for the Future by the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills, and Training. Reconciliation and Indigenization are priorities for BCIT, and we appreciate our relationship with Indigenous peoples at all levels, across all campuses, throughout the province, and beyond.

We developed this Strategic Plan in parallel with the formalization of BCIT’s Indigenous Vision. We have updated it with sustained commitment to the journey described in that Vision. The two are mutually reinforcing; together they provide a framework for action and accountability.

Our Vision

Bold and challenging to achieve, our Indigenous Vision is simple and clear. We aspire to a future in which:

  • BCIT is the first-choice post-secondary institution for learners in BC,
  • Well-developed pathways exist to support Indigenous learner transition to and from BCIT, and
  • Indigeneity is embedded and active across BCIT.

Priorities for Action

As we implement the Indigenous Vision, we have agreed on our main areas of focus. These align with both the CICan principles and our objectives. With the learner at the centre of our planning, we have developed three types of actions:

  • Inclusion actions are people-focused and intent on building awareness and understanding around Truth, Reconciliation, Indigenization, the legacy of colonization, and the contemporary reality of Canada and Indigenous people.
  • Accountability actions strive to create an environment in which all learners, and specifically Indigenous learners, find themselves reflected across the Institute and supported by programs, policies, and services designed to meet their needs.
  • Relationship actions foster a culture in which respect and collaboration underpin all that we do. Based on authentic and sustainable partnerships, these actions represent progress towards a future in which we work together to promote the place and space of Indigenous people.
