Biidaaban, can be described in Anishinaabemowin as that time when dawn arrives in the East, a time of new beginnings. Biidaaban is an oral and visual way of communicating what is happening. The sun rises in the East, where we welcome life, new beginnings, and transformation. This one-year Ontario College Certificate is intended for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners interested in developing and expanding transferable skills for their academic or career journey. The Indigenous perspective, knowledge, and worldview covered in this program will nurture academic growth and workplace skills, respectful of the relationship and responsibilities of Anishinaabe teachings. Students will learn the importance of balance, gain confidence, and explore courses of interest. The learning plan will enhance math, writing, and learning skills. Upon graduation, as graduates start their next journey, they will be able to apply the Indigenous values, knowledge, and worldviews, taking with them the teachings of harmony, balance, wholistic wellness and living a good life. In addition, several courses may be transferred to other ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ College programs.
