This initiative stems from recommendations outlined in Concordia’s Indigenous Directions Action Plan, created – in part – to respond to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Once you are admitted, you will also have access to multiple resources such as:
- The Otsenhákta Student Centre
- The Office of Community Engagement, including Indigenous Community Engagement
- The Student Success Centre
