Goals & priorities
The process of renewing the Indigenous Plan was guided by the Indigenous Plan Steering Circle (IPSC) with leadership from the Office of the Vice-President Indigenous and membership from Indigenous faculty, staff, students and leadership across the university. The IPSC met at least once a month for over a year to develop a robust engagement strategy to incorporate the needs, interests, values, aspirations and knowledges of Indigenous students, staff, faculty, Elders and local community leaders. We prioritized engaging with Indigenous people, who carry knowledge from lived experiences of navigating colonial systems, resisting barriers and identifying meaningful pathways within the university.
