Teacher Candidates of Colour promotes inclusive and diverse teaching and safe spaces throughout the campus. Started in 2018 by teacher candidates with the goal of creating a safe space for self-care for visible minority teacher candidates, TCC hosts educational and cultural activities throughout the year and provides support, knowledge, and resources for teacher candidates. Supported by Drs. Thashika Pillay, Alana Butler and Lindsay Morcom, TCC is a supportive, vibrant voice at Duncan McArthur Hall!
