We’re thrilled to announce that in Spring 2025, the University of Alberta will be hosting a significant event—the raising of the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags. Led by Florence Glanfield, Vice-Provost (Indigenous Programming and Research), this initiative includes efforts to integrate Indigenous history into key areas of our campus, such as alongside the Founders statue. Additionally, there’s important work being done on Indigenous-focused policies, including the recognition of ceremonial practices, gifting traditions, and honoraria.
Join us on this day in marking this important moment as we continue to build a campus that celebrates and acknowledges the rich Indigenous heritage that is integral to our community.
