Sisters in Spirit vigils have been held every October 4 since 2006 in the memory of Canada’s murdered and missing Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Sisters in Spirit Day raises public awareness to ensure that everyone, regardless of their cultural background, is aware of this crisis of violence and calls on us take action.

What each of us can do:

Each year, Treaty Day is celebrated on October 1. This day serves as the official recognition of the historic Peace and Friendship Treaties between the Mi’kmaq and the Crown. These treaties guarantee the Mi’kmaq right to hunt, fish, gather, and earn a reasonable living, and still stand today.

While these treaties sought to achieve a peaceful coexistence, the Mi’kmaq were never conquered, and never surrendered, gave up or ceded their land. Mi’kma’ki is still Mi’kmaw territory.

What an instructor communicates to students can be highly impactful, but it is constrained by the limits of time and subject matter. What if additional dimensions of topics were folded into classes in a way that only becomes apparent later? A student who realizes stealth teaching has happened can react by thinking "Ahh, I see what you did there." This is how stealth teaching can carry the benefits of learning beyond the classroom. Join Etienne Cote in the Teaching and Learning Centre to discuss how and why you might want to incorporate stealth teaching into your courses.

Flags at UPEI were flown at half-mast on Sunday, September 28, to commemorate Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day. In 1998, the Government of Canada officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September as a national memorial day to give Canadians an opportunity to formally express appreciation for the dedication of police and peace officers, and to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in keeping communities safe.
