Due to the rain expected tomorrow (September 27), the TRC Mawi’omi, scheduled for the afternoon, is postponed. The event will be rescheduled on a date in October. The new date will be communicated to the campus community when it has been determined.

One aspect of the Mawi’omi that will take place tomorrow afternoon is the tying of orange ribbons to the fence on the University Avenue side of the campus. Members of the campus community may pick up orange ribbons to tie on the fence, as well as smaller orange ribbons to wear, in MacMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre, from noon to 1:30 pm.

Other related events on campus will continue as planned. The Department of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Human Rights’ compelling educational display, “Yes, Here Too: Prince Edward Island’s Indian Day Schools and Residential Schools in Canada’s Maritimes,” can be viewed in the Kelley Memorial Building, Rooms 115 to 118, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on September 27—the last day for the display.

As well, the Robertson Library is hosting an educational display that will focus on Truth and Reconciliation regarding residential schools, which will transition to a celebration of Mi'kmaq History Month in October, particularly the history and culture of Epekwitk.
