Event Details:

The Mi'kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre at the University of New Brunswick and the Wabanaki Student Centre at St. Thomas University are pleased to be hosting a Treaty Renewal Gathering from April 25-27, 2022.

Spring is a time for renewal and rebirth. It has been two years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and a time for healing is needed. In this spirit, we invite you to gather with us during the final week of April for a series of presentations and events focussed on Indigenous values, ceremonies, and teachings that have promoted healing and strengthened and sustained communities since time immemorial.

All events are free, open to the public, and will take place in Marshall d’Avray Hall, Room 143. Everyone is welcome!
