This community is an opportunity for Indigenous students to connect, share, and build a culturally rich community of respect, peer support, and mentorship.
Programming, events, and ceremony are designed with guidance and partnership from the Office for Indigenous Education and Engagement and at VIU. Many of the events are held at B170 Shq'uapthut, a Student Leader in that building helps connect students to programs and events hosted by Office for Indigenous Education and Engagement.
All rooms in this community are together in Townhouse 6 and students have the option of Modern Single room styles.
