Welcome to the Spring 2026 Kwey Series

Posted on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026

Welcome to the Spring 2026 edition of “Kwey” the Algonquin College’s Indigenous Language Video Series. “Kwey” is an Algonquin greeting that means hello.

Since the Spring of 2024, we have created over 90 videos sharing words, expressions and phrases in the Anishinàbe Algonquin language, the traditional language of this region.

The videos you will see over the next few months will feature vocabulary and phrases related to Campus Services and Student Services here at Algonquin College.

We are proud the Kwey series was recently awarded national recognition from CICAN, Colleges and Institutes Canada, receiving a bronze medal for Indigenous Education as part of the Program Excellence Awards. It is our hope that the Kwey series will encourage all employees, learners and partners of Algonquin College to support Indigenous language revitalization and to build the understanding.

Learning a few words or phrases in the host nation’s language is one small way of recognizing the true history and the first language of the territory.
