Why This Gathering Matters

The Indigenous Governance Circles are a core part of our university’s commitment to Truth & Reconciliation. They ensure SFU Indigenous community members and Host Nations are meaningfully involved in decision‑making and the ongoing implementation of SFU’s Aboriginal Reconciliation Council (ARC) and Pathways recommendations, responding to the TRC’s calls to action and enacting SFU’s obligations under the B.C. DRIPA Action Plan. Your presence strengthens this work.

We are looking forward to seeing you on June 19th!
