The Education Ceremony was a powerful reminder that every achievement matters. We celebrated students of all ages who have committed themselves to learning and growth. Whether completing elementary school, high school, post-secondary studies, trades training, language learning, or professional development, each person’s accomplishments reflect their hard work, the support of their families, and the collective investment our Nation makes in future generations. We are proud of each learner and encourage our youth to continue pursuing their dreams while carrying forward the teachings of our ancestors. We are especially proud to acknowledge University Graduate Diana James and Robina Thomas, PhD, who has recently retired from her role as President of the University of Victoria.
