Journalism program for Indigenous learners, taught by Indigenous faculty welcomes 1st students – CBC
Sep 30, 2025
20 students from across Canada accepted to joint Kenjgewin Teg-Carleton University journalism certificate
Twenty students from across Canada have been selected for the inaugural cohort of a new journalism program offered by Kenjgewin Teg Educational Institute on Manitoulin Island, the First Nations Technical Institute and Ottawa’s Carleton University.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued a call to all journalism schools to educate students about the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights and law and nuances of culture and language to better reflect the historical truth of the country and everyone in it.
As schools work to achieve that call to action, this new nine-month certificate is tailored to Indigenous learners and taught exclusively by Indigenous faculty.
