UPEI’s Robertson Library has developed an Indigenous Resources Guide that includes articles, books, documents, websites, and other resources related to research about Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Also, you can learn about our Elders and scholars at UPEI on the upei.ca website or access resources about Mi’kmaq culture, traditions, and language on the L’nuey website.

The Government of Canada's Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada website has additional resources which explore the history, languages, cultures, and experiences of Indigenous Peoples across Canada.

This is a sunny reminder about the Recognizing Remarkable Colleagues program, our monthly feature in the Campus Connector! As the summer season brings fresh energy to campus, it’s the perfect time to spotlight the people who brighten our days. 

Have you noticed a colleague who:
•    Took time to support you or your team
•    Went the extra mile to make someone’s day better
•    Demonstrated our shared values through their actions

We want to hear about it!

For more details on the program, including links to past issues and information about the new submission form, please click here

Let’s keep the momentum going as we celebrate the colleagues who make UPEI such a vibrant place to work and learn. The deadline for our next issue is Friday, June 26, 2026.

Thank you for helping to build a culture of appreciation and connection.

Troy Life & Fire Safety will continue conducting fire alarm inspections and testing in selected campus buildings throughout June, July, August, and September. As part of these inspections, there will be testing of fire alarm devices and notification systems.
 
For device testing, occupants may notice technicians working throughout the building, but no alarm notification is expected. During bell-ringing tests, there will be an audible notification stating, “This is a test,” at the beginning and the end of each testing period. Occupants are not required to evacuate during scheduled testing. The ringing of alarms is necessary to verify proper operation of the fire alarm system and to ensure notification devices function throughout the building.
Inspections and testing will take place at the following locations on the dates noted below:
 
  • Blanchard Hall, June 15
  • Steel Building, June 16
  • Robertson Library, June 17
  • Central Utility Building, June 18–19
  • Regis and Joan Duffy Research Centre (also known as NRC building), July 6
  • Dalton Hall, July 8
  • SDU Main Building, July 9
  • Memorial Hall, July 9
  • Cass Science Hall, July 10
  • Health Sciences Building, July 13
  • K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre, July 14
  • Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering Building, July 15
  • Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation, July 16
  • Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, July 17
  • UPEI Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Centre, July 20–24
  • Atlantic Veterinary College (does not include Veterinary Teaching Hospital), August 17–21
  • Performing Arts Centre/New Residence (bell ringing testing), August 31–September 2
 
These inspections represent the remaining scheduled fire alarm inspections and testing activities for the current inspection cycle.

Building Websites with Jekyll and GitHub

June, 23, 25 10:00 am-1:00 pm Atlantic (online)

This 6-hour workshop will teach participants how to create and host static websites using Jekyll and GitHub Pages. Static websites have many benefits, including low cost, faster rendering, easier to backup and preserve, and have far fewer security issues in comparison to popular dynamic platforms. Learners will be guided through writing formatted content with Markdown, configuring GitHub to build and serve pages, building multi-page sites with Jekyll, and customizing layouts. No prior experience with Git or web development is required — only comfort using a web browser — though a basic familiarity with HTML is helpful. This workshop is suitable for anyone looking to build a personal site or project documentation.

Engineering is seeking empty printer-paper boxes to use for a lab activity in ENGN 1410 (Sustainability in Engineering Design) in the fall semester. Students will be using the boxes as the base for model net-zero energy houses they will design and construct from recycled materials. 

We need the boxes that held 10 reams of letter-sized printer paper.

Please keep us in mind as you empty out any printer-paper boxes this summer and contact Megan Glover at mglover@upei.ca or 626-4665 if you have any boxes to donate.
