Ta7lnew̓ás ensures Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw has integrative, effective, and streamlined collaborative processes to help our people meet their individual education goals.
The department supports each Squamish Person, both on and off reserve, in reaching their educational goals. The department works in partnership with school districts, post-secondary institutions, and other First Nations to advocate for programs and services related to education and training from private, provincial, and national sources.

Ta7lnew̓ás could be interpreted as ‘learning with each other’, such as a group of people learning together.
