Welcome

How is the University of Waterloo responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) findings and calls to action? This website was established in 2016 as a hub for projects and initiatives by the University community and partners that work toward truth and reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and all Canadians. The University's work toward reconciliation is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
