Events

To celebrate Indigenous Peoples History Month and Pride Month, the Office of Indigenous Relations and the Keeping Well at Work (KW@W) program are excited to welcome Kai Potts for a special event on June 18.

Kai is a proud Two-Spirit community builder with a big heart and a lot to say. Whether he's sharing stories about Indigenous identity, queerness, fashion, or his favourite video games, Kai brings humour, insight, and authenticity to every conversation.

On June 19th, in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day, the Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR) and the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA) invite you to a celebration at BMH Green. Join us for a vibrant lunchtime concert featuring talented Indigenous student musicians, artisans, and cultural showcases. Enjoy a free "Taco in a Bag" lunch and connect in community as we celebrate Indigenous cultures and voices.

September 27, 2025 marks the 22nd anniversary of the Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát annual Pow Wow.

Join us as we celebrate Indigenous culture and tradition through song, dance, arts, and cuisine. Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát Pow Wow is intended to be a safe, welcoming, and vibrant opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks from the UWaterloo community and beyond to gather in celebration.

September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We invite and encourage all members of the University community to attend and observe all of the ceremonies throughout the day as their schedule allows.  

The Indigenous Speakers Series hosted by the Faculty of Arts is pleased and honoured to present Mary Spencer, world champion boxer, Olympian, and Indigenous athlete, as the first speaker in our 2025–26 series.
