Loyalist, UNB mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with new spaces

Loyalist College and the University of New Brunswick marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by opening spaces that honour Indigenous identity and support reconciliation. Loyalist opened the Tsi Titewaya’taró:roks Indigenous Centre (“Place Where We Gather As Family”), a student-centred hub for cultural activities, language learning, and community support. Meanwhile, UNB opened the Wabanaki Eight Point Star Healing Garden, featuring sacred plants arranged according to the Medicine Wheel, seating for reflection, and a brazier for sacred fire. Both centres are intended to strengthen Indigenous student belonging and academic success while advancing reconciliation.
