Indigenous Relations Training Program (IRTP)
Registration for fall sessions (Nov. 9–10, 12–13) is now open!

Indigenous Graduation Pow-wow update
The annual Indigenous Graduation Pow-wow has been postponed until further notice. We're saddened and disappointed that we can't celebrate this amazing achievement with you in person, but we hope to host this event as soon as possible, contingent on COVID-19 and social distancing recommendations. Gifts are also intended to be bestowed upon graduands amidst the ceremony of the Pow-wow, and will be gifted in-person when the Pow-wow can be held safely.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact Karen MacDonald at karen.macdonald1@ucalgary.ca.
