IIC supports Member Institutes to advance Indigenous-led post secondary education, through partnerships and collective collaborative approaches. Since 1994, the IIC has successfully raised the awareness and profiles of Member Institutes, learners and communities. The IIC was instrumental in the establishment of Ontario\u2019s Indigenous Institutes Act, 2017. This legislation recognizes the important role Indigenous Institutes play as a pillar of post-secondary education and the contribution Indigenous Institutes make to the outcomes of Indigenous learners in Ontario.<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-4 text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iicontario.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-160\" src=\"https:\/\/events.collegesinstitutes.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/08\/iic_logo.jpg\" alt=\"Indigenous Institutes Consortium Logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events.collegesinstitutes.ca\/NIES2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/08\/iic_logo.jpg 600w, https:\/\/events.collegesinstitutes.ca\/NIES2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/08\/iic_logo-300x83.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is the national and international voice of Canada\u2019s largest post-secondary education network.
