Oki, Welcome! Join us at Camp Horizon: Balance Matters from May 14 and 15 hosted by the CTLI and Lethbridge College Faculty.

Camp Horizon is a two-day professional development event for all instructors and staff at Lethbridge College. The event is a dedicated opportunity to connect with colleagues, participate in dynamic sessions, and build community. This year’s theme is “balance matters,” and attendees can participate in sessions related to wellness, community building, TEF-aligned teaching practices, and research projects.   

Camp Horizon is a celebration of all the wonderful things LC staff are doing and an opportunity to learn about, experience, and share in the amazing work of colleagues. See you there!

Jason Wegner is a passionate mental health speaker and advocate. He is the author of the book “Manic Man” and serves as an English Teacher at Lethbridge Collegiate Institute (LCI). Living with Bipolar 1 Disorder, Jason draws on his challenging experiences and the obstacles he faced to help inspire audiences to unleash their own inner resilience. Battling through severe mania and depression to eventually experience post-traumatic growth, Jason’s story is one of hope. He aims to destigmatize mental health struggles while helping individuals achieve balance in their lives without sacrificing performance in their careers.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Camp Horizon 2023! Looking forward to making more memories this year.

CTLI believes that meaningful engagement of stakeholders is essential to any good initiative. Below is a list of engaged stakeholders. (Classification based on CTLI engagement framework and IAP2 Public Participation Spectrum) 

Lethbridge College is located on lands traditionally occupied by Siksikaitsitapi, the Blackfoot Confederacy. Blackfoot lands extend north to south from the North Saskatchewan River in Alberta and Saskatchewan to the Yellowstone River in the state of Montana, and east to west from the Great Sand Hills in the province of Saskatchewan to the mountainous Continental Divide. Today, four nations make up Siksikaitsitapi: the Apaitsitapi or Kainai (Blood Tribe), the Aapatohsipiikani or Piikani Nation, the Siksika Nation in southern Alberta, as well as the Ampskaapi’piikani or Blackfeet Tribe in northern Montana. As both the traditional and current Land Keepers of this area, the Blackfoot Nations have welcomed people from other Indigenous territories, including all signatory Nations of Treaty No. 7, members of the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3, and non-Indigenous people who have come to call the City of Lethbridge home.   

It is the intent of our college community to honour the land from a place of connection, Kakyosin, to become fully aware and truly recognize the knowledge encompassed of what it means to say we are on Blackfoot Territory. 

We are committed to providing flexible, innovative and collaborative support for the success of diverse learners while advancing a culture of universal teaching and learning.
