For National Indigenous Peoples Day, observed on Friday, June 21, VCC sat down with Dental Technology graduate Angel Bates to learn more about her Metis background, her education journey and what life is like after school.
VCC is located on the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples who have been stewards of these lands since time immemorial. As a place of learning, we are grateful to be here while committing to respecting and honouring Indigenous knowledge, cultures, and communities.
