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:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
