Indigenous Learners & Supporters

Wabnode means beginning of a new day, a new start, and new journey.

Join us to connect with friends, meet new people, get academic advice and counselling support, learn about more scholarships and bursary applications, and how we can help you work with your funder/sponsor in your community.

Our strong connection with Culture is supported by our Traditional Elders who offer support and guidance and led by our Cultural Conductor.

We encourage you to self-identify so that we can continue to support you and provide you with information about Wabnode events and activities. You can do this when you apply at ontariocolleges.ca, and in your myCambrian portal (see the Personal Checklist feature within the Student tab.)

If you have any questions or have any challenges with applying to Cambrian, confirming and accepting your offer, or registration, please connect with us anytime at wabnode@cambriancollege.ca. Also be sure to check your myCambrian account regularly for information about your program.
