Indigenous Education and Cultural Services Events and Programming

Indigenous Education and Cultural Services hosts regular events, including ceremonies, cultural workshops and guest speakers. In addition to these events, we also host workshops and provide class presentations that introduce attendees to the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada, such as residential schools, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and how these continue to impact Indigenous peoples today.

One-on-one support is available for students who wish to learn more about Indigenous cultures from the Indigenous Cultural Advisor, as well as student mental health counselling from an Indigenous cultural approach.
