Kwe’! All members of the community are invited to a special event hosted by the Native Council of PEI (NCPEI) at which the University of Prince Edward Island will be recognized for its commitment and outstanding contributions to the ongoing work toward reconciliation.

Lisa Cooper, President and Chief of NCPEI, will present the University with an eagle feather, and Dr. Greg Keefe, interim President and Vice-Chancellor, and Dr. Gary Evans, interim Dean of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies at UPEI, with smudging bowls.  

An opening prayer will be provided by Georgina Knockwood Crane, and the Mi'kmaw Honour Song will be sung by a women's hand drum group.

The event will take place on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at 10:00 am in Schurman Market Square at Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

All are welcome!
