Langara College

Langara is a college that prioritizes sustainability, inclusion, and community engagement, with indigenization as the essential link connecting us all. We are a public college located in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam First Nation. We are honoured to carry the name snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓, meaning house of teachings, which was gifted to us by Musqueam. This name reflects our deep commitment to learning, community, and respectful relationships. Our goal is to remove barriers to education and help students reach their full potential. That means providing world-class learning and wraparound supports that make a real difference. Small class sizes, dedicated faculty, and flexible programs help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom. We’re proud of our connection to the Musqueam people and continue to learn from our relationship. We work to create an environment that respects Indigenous knowledge and culture and are committed to reconciliation across the college.Langara also plays an active role in the wider community. Students contribute thousands of volunteer hours through initiatives like the VOLT program. The Langara College Foundation helps fund scholarships and bursaries, and our annual campaigns support local organizations and causes. Sustainability is another core focus. We’ve reduced our carbon footprint significantly since 2010, and our campus includes LEED Gold-certified buildings, solar panels, EV charging stations, and water conservation features. We’re working toward a more sustainable future, both on campus and in our operations.
