The university is offering its first Aboriginal language course taught on
campus.

The first class in Secwepemctsín, the language of the local Secwepemc
nation, will take place Jan. 21 at 5 p.m. in AE 100. It’s being taught by
Janice Billy, a fluent speaker teaching the language at the Little Fawn
Nursery and at the Skl’ep School of Excellence.

“It’s timely,” said Jack Miller of TRU’s school of education. “First
Nations language and culture is important to the university, so that’s why
it’s being offered.”
