The Indigenous/Xwulmuxw Studies program grounds itself in the understanding that students and teachers in our classrooms constitute “family” engaged in transformative conversations. In this way of thinking, students are not alone in their learning nor in their success, but rather share their growing skills with each other to enhance the community which forms their class and our program. |

All MCP students are individually assigned a mentor who is a Registered Professional Planner (RPP) in the local planning community. The purpose of mentors is to build a relationship with an experienced professional who can provide general guidance, career advice, and act as a “sounding board” for discussing planning issues. The Mentors are provided with a summary of the expectations of the MCP program for Mentors, but the specifics of the communication between the Mentor and the student will be left to their discretion. |
