Join us in support of Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
We recognize and honour the Sept. 30 Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The University of British Columbia’s two campuses are situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people and Syilx Okanagan Nation. Through our friendship with BC’s First Nations, we continue to learn how the local informs our thinking about the global. How we treat each other at home says a lot about how we see ourselves collectively as global citizens. We understand our responsibility to contribute to global society derives from our commitment to serve our local communities. In no small part by honouring our commitments to truth and reconciliation with the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples in Canada, we hope not to replicate the histories and systems of colonization within our global aspirations.—Dr. Murali Chandrashekaran, UBC Vice-Provost, International
