On April 1, 1994, Langara College was established as an independent public college under the Provincial College and Institute Act. The College is also known as house of teachings, a name given to us by the Musqueam First Nation, on whose

unceded traditional territory we are located. Today, Langara is one of BC's leading undergraduate institutions providing University Studies, Career Studies, and Continuing Studies programs and courses to more than 21,000 students annually.

Langara College’s Co-op and Career Development Centre (CCDC) is now the Centre for Career and Work Integrated Learning (CCWIL).

This renaming makes the department's purpose easier to see: co-op is one piece and the new name reflects the broader pathway of work-integrated learning (WIL) that helps students build career readiness earlier.

Langara College students helped validate Tamarack, one of Canada’s first unique hop varietals, and their work is now supporting homegrown cultivation and craft brewing.

In partnership with Crescent Island Farms, Barnside Brewing, and the Island Hop Company, students collected wild hop samples, ran lab analysis, and helped confirm Tamarack as a viable hop for cultivation and brewing.

Learn how Ji Yang and Langara students helped move Tamarack from discovery to sell-out brews: https://ow.ly/2zji50ZFStj.

On August 1, we observe Emancipation Day, commemorating the day the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into force across the British Empire.

Emancipation Day is an opportunity to reflect on and recognize the strength, achievements, and perseverance of Indigenous and Black peoples in Canada, who endured and resisted centuries of enslavement. It is also a time for settlers to listen to Indigenous and Black communities whose lives continue to be shaped by the lasting impacts of enslavement.
