Schuman Market Square, MacDougall Hall

Tuesday, March 25, 2025, from 11:15 am until 2:30 pm

This event is being planned as a further opportunity to share local Mi’kmaq knowledge and worldviews. The event also serves as an opportunity to gather and celebrate the hard work of our learners, teachers and staff during this academic year. It is an event we hope may be repeated in future years as we work together to bring to life Indigenization and reconciliation education at UPEI.
