In 2015, the completion and success rates in higher learning between aboriginal learners and non-aboriginal learners living in the coastal corridor region are equal.

The coastal corridor consortium will work collectively through its Aboriginal service plan (asp) to provide equal opportunity for aboriginal learners that result in improved rates of completion and success. This will be done through collaborative planning, knowledge-based strategies, providing improved services and learner tools, and tailored post-secondary educational programs.

Coastal Corridor Consortium is made up of volunteer board members who, as stakeholder representatives, work collectively to improve levels of participation and success for Aboriginal learners in post-secondary education and training in the Coastal Corridor (Lower Mainland and Sunshine Coast) region of British Columbia. The Consortium includes the following ten partners:

• Lil’wat Nation
• Musqueam Nation
• Sechelt Nation
• Squamish Nation
• Tsleil-Waututh Nation
• United Native Nations
• Métis Nation British Columbia
• Vancouver Community College
• Capilano University
• Native Education College

The four split U's represent the four dimensions of learning, the medicine wheel (all races, the elements of the earth, the four directions/gifts, the four teachers) and our people. The split U's were chosen to form the circle to respect the Coast Salish people whose traditional territory the Consortium operates upon. The sacred eagles within represent the potential of our people when we learn. The circle opens up like the tree of life, with the eagle leaving the circle representing the journey our people take when we grow, change and achieve our potential.
