Our Vision and Mission

Our Vision

Better Futures for Peoples and Communities

Our Mission

To strengthen the Canadian college and institute system to meet Canada’s – and the world’s – biggest challenges.

The values that CICan promotes in all that we do and support are foundational to our Roadmap:

Reconciliation

CICan worked in co-creation with our members to establish seven principles for Indigenous education to improve the participation, engagement and recognition of Indigenous communities in Canada’s colleges and institutes.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

CICan is a signatory of the Government of Canada 50-30 Challenge. Colleges and institutes are playing a critical role in Canada’s progress in this area.

Sustainable Development

CICan is a signatory of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Colleges and institutes are playing a critical role in Canada’s progress towards these goals.
