National Indigenous Peoples Day is a day to celebrate the diverse history, heritage, cultures, and contributions of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples of Turtle Island.
This day intentionally coincides with the summer solstice-the longest day of the year, on which many Indigenous Peoples celebrate Mother Earth’s gifts.

The WCC was well represented at the annual Canadian Writing Centres Association conference which was held virtually from May 25-27, 2022. Members of our team presented on a multitude of topics including Creating an Online Space for Learning Science Communication, English Conversation Circles as a Mediator between the Demands of Course Instructors and Students as Writers, and How and Why Writing Centre Tutors Can Set Healthy Boundaries During the Pandemic and Beyond.
At the Writing and Communication Centre, we have the privilege of working with undergraduate and graduate students throughout their studies. We see their hard work, their creativity, and their perseverance as they advance through the various stages of their programs. It's incredibly exciting when they reach their goals of completing their degrees and embark on the next stages of their academic and professional journeys.
Join us for biweekly sessions of the IBPOC Writing Café starting Thursday June 16 from 5:00-7:00 pm. The IBPOC Writing Café is a space where graduate students identifying as Indigenous, Black, and people of colour can come together to form a supportive community of writers. This is an intentional IBPOC-only space. You can join the IBPOC writing groups channel through WCC’s Teams.
