This is SLC: Our College News

This National Indigenous History Month, the Indigenous team at SLC has compiled a list of book recommendations for non-fiction and fiction books by Indigenous authors.

In Canada, June is dedicated to commemorating and celebrating 2SLGBTQ+ pride. The SLC Pride Planning Committee has been working hard on several tri-campus events. These events provide opportunities for community-building, story sharing and education around 2SLGBTQ+ Pride.  

June is gearing up to be a busy and exciting month at SLC and I wanted to update our community about some of the major events in our calendar, as a reminder and invitation to participate wherever and whenever possible. Convocation, National Indigenous History Month, Pride Month, and the 10th Anniversary of SLC's Community Integration through Cooperative Education program are several of the events we're celebrating this month.

The Building Inclusive Community – The Beauty to Belong event brought together members of the Kingston community to discuss the importance of diversity and inclusion in Kingston. During the event a thought-provoking panel candidly shared their personal and professional experiences while discussing the over-arching theme of belonging.  

Commuter Challenge 2023 is here! This is a nation-wide event that promotes sustainable methods of transportation and challenges commuters (staff and students) to get to work or school more sustainably. This means choosing cycling, carpooling, transit, etc. over driving solo when possible. Over the years, the SLC community has excelled in participation, in km saved, and emissions saved, so let’s beat our records this year!
