Land Acknowledgment
Mohawk College derives its name from the Mohawk Nation, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee
Confederacy. The Confederacy marks a union of peace and friendship, and Mohawk College honours that
union by recognizing the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
We acknowledge that the territories on which Mohawk College and its campuses are situated are governed
by the Between the Lakes Treaty, the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement, and the Upper Canada
Treaty Agreement. These agreements are binding to this day and represent our mutual commitment to
maintain healthy, reciprocal and respectful relationships with the many Indigenous nations and peoples of this
area. We acknowledge this and iterate our dedication to inclusivity, to friendship and to valuing the ongoing
contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.

WHY MOHAWK

We have forward-looking spaces
that reflect our core values of
excellence and innovation.
The Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation is a unique ‘teaching tool’, the largest net zero institutional
building in Canada, with 96,000 square feet on seven levels with access for students on all. It exceeds
LEED® Platinum standards and generates as much or more energy as it consumes annually.

Opportunities for collaboration and innovation are built into the building’s design. Its multi-space,
interconnected configuration brings students, faculty, researchers and partners together in new
ways, to encourage discussion and generate ideas.

skills and talents of our students, faculty, staff and administrators. We are focused on
creating an environment that reflects all identities, where every student belongs, is
welcomed and has a voice.

Community Services

You can make a meaningful difference in your community. Mohawk’s
Community Services programs prepare you for a rewarding, purposeful
career. Our early childhood education, educational support, child
and youth care and social service worker programs teach you how
to improve the well-being of children, adolescents, families and
people who live with disabilities or mental health problems. Our law
enforcement, justice and legal services programs train you to safeguard
neighbourhoods, manage emergency situations or for careers in the
judicial and security sectors.
