tiwšɛmawtxʷ where community and learning connect.
On September 20, 2022 the Tla’amin Nation Executive Council gifted our qathet region campus with the name tiwšɛmawtxʷ which means House of Learning, a name that reflects our place in the community. We honour this name each and every day through inclusion and accessibility for all who wish to expand their knowledge and experience.
