History
Keyano College opened in Fort McMurray in 1965 as the Alberta Vocational Centre (AVC). The official opening ceremonies were held on January 26, 1966. In 1975 the College was reopened under its current name, "Keyano", which is a Cree word which loosely means "sharing". The original slogan for the College was "Yours, Mine and Ours" which closely represents and honours the original Cree meaning of the word, "Keyano".
When the province of Alberta appointed a Board of Governors to serve as the decision-making body for the institution, the school officially became a public, community college.
Keyano College has expanded to include a family housing complex, student residence, Syncrude Sport & Wellness Centre (SSWC), three campuses, and satellite locations which provide education to many northern communities.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
