In this 4-day course, you'll learn about Indigenous history in Canada, community and culture, and expand on your intercultural capacity in order to build strong relationships with Indigenous individuals and communities.
Hours of operation
Our offices in MSC 390Z are currently closed to better observe social distancing. You can still connect with us virtually for advising appointments, wellness support, cultural resources and more.
