Tranby has always been more than classrooms. Our story is tied to grassroots activism, cultural renewal, and community-led change. From historic campaigns for Land Rights, Black Deaths in Custody to today’s national conversations, Tranby continues to be a culturally safe meeting place for our people to pursue learning, leadership, and liberation on their own terms.

Tranby continues to grow through new connections and partnerships. Our commitment to First Nations learning and to building self-supporting local economies has remained strong; we are proud to contribute to emerging areas of community empowerment, from leadership development to women’s programs and the safeguarding of Elders’ oral stories.
Kirsty Masella, Co-Chairperson

It is more important than ever that we develop the skills necessary for building, or rather, re-building, a self-determined First Nations economy. This work cannot happen without truth-telling, without listening to the stories that have shaped and continue to shape our communities.
Mick Gooda, Co-Chairperson
