Okanagan College and the OC Board of Governors extends our deepest sympathies to the Williams Lake First Nation and all those impacted by the recent news of efforts underway to confirm burial sites at St. Joseph's Residential School Grounds in Williams Lake. We recognize that this will be painful and re-triggering for many in our learning community and surrounding communities. Our thoughts are with you and our hearts go out to you during this difficult time.
