Strategic Plan 2023-2028

After a year-long consultation process, the college has launched a new Strategic Plan that will guide us over the next five years. The plan is the result of many conversations and reflects thousands of comments, ideas and thoughts.

The Strategic Plan consists of six priority areas each represented by individual paddles designed by alumni and Coast Salish artist Dylan Thomas.

The Spirit of Camossung

The Spirit of Camossung represents the concept of transformation as told through the Songhees legend of Camossung 鈥 where two waters meet and are transformed. In the legend, Halyas, who is said to be a transformer being, turned a young girl, known as Camossung, into stone and cast her into the narrows, near where the Tillicum bridge is located today. After her transformation, the Spirit of Camossung was believed to be a protector of those traveling by canoe through the Gorge to the Portage Inlet and was able to grant powers to those who swam in the narrows.聽

In the image, Camossung is shown gesturing the 鈥榬aising of hands鈥 to honour and acknowledge the ancestors and give thanks for the ancestral lands. Above her head, she is holding six individual paddles each with a traditional symbol to represent the six priorities of the college鈥檚 strategic plan. The paddles in the strategic plan image are another reference to the legend of Camossung and are also intended to represent the notion of the college community 鈥榩addling or pulling together.鈥

Created by local artist and alumni Dylan Thomas, the image is a modern example of traditional Coast Salish art, iconography, and semiotics.
