Events and gatherings are a way for us to connect, whether virtually or in-person. They provide space and opportunity to learn and reflect together, to share, and to move together toward the goals of reconciliation. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
We have previous, current, and upcoming events featured here. We welcome and encourage you to share all Indigenous focused events with us. If you know of an event you would like us to share and highlight, please let us know by emailing indigenousrelations@uwaterloo.ca.
