Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day is a day to share how GIS technology supports research, informs decision-making and creates a positive impact around the world.

The Library’s Geospatial Centre, Environment Technology & Instructional Support (ETIS), and the Waterloo Association of Geography Students (WAGS) have partnered to host an afternoon of learning.

We invite you to a unique and empowering event that blends the themes of climate anxiety, the UWaterloo Healing Forest, Truth and Reconciliation, Indigenous healing and health, and Land Back. This gathering offers an opportunity to explore the deep connections between land, climate, and healing, while reflecting on our shared responsibilities.

The event will feature a fireside chat between Dr. Kelsey Leonard and Elder Myeengun Henry, who will share wisdom on the importance of land in Indigenous healing and cultural resilience. The conversation will also focus on how Indigenous perspectives can offer guidance in navigating the growing concerns around climate anxiety, particularly among youth.

Following the fireside chat, attendees will be invited to walk through the Healing Forest exhibit, a space dedicated to reflection on the impacts of colonialism and the resilience of Indigenous people. This immersive experience will provide an opportunity to connect and engage deeply with the themes of the day.

Together, we will walk a path of hope, guided by the wisdom of Indigenous knowledge, the strength of community, and the power of the land.
