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.

Build Connections: Employer networking with the Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR) and Cooperative and Experiential Education (CEE)
Join the Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR) and Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE) for an interactive, low-pressure evening focused on building confidence, developing professional skills, and making meaningful connections. This is not a traditional career fair, but a thoughtfully designed experience that offers structured employer engagement, insight into current labour market trends, and opportunities to connect with peers within the Indigenous student community. Designed to support students at any stage of their journey, this event helps you feel more confident and future-ready.
