SAEC Mission Statement
Our mission is to enhance education opportunities for Saanich Nation adults living on and off reserve and in neighboring communities by offering courses and programs that are community based and driven and which link to the Saanich Nation's longer range community development plans, to advance development, self-sufficiency and self-reliance.The aim of the staff and administration is to make every attempt to offer programs and services that reflect Saanich Nation traditions and values, and that are based on respect and an understanding of each person's uniqueness and potential, always taking into account that the learner is an adult with a vast array of experiences and equal expertise to offer. It is our desire to include the SENCOTEN language and elders in our program delivery, whenever possible.
In short, our mission is to provide accessible, holistic programs preparing adult learners for higher education and vocational training, thus bridging them into other educational organizations and programs of their choice.
