The opening of the Wāqsecewan Language Campus created dedicated space for hosting community-focused open houses. These events allow community members to learn about our programs and services and discover ways to get involved in the revitalization movement. For existing language learners these events are additional opportunities to engage in natural conversations, interact with proficient speakers, ask questions, and experience natural language use.
