Indigenous Initiatives

We welcome George Brown students, employees, alumni and community members to this space. The Indigenous Initiatives team promotes knowledge sharing and works to support students in achieving their academic, work and life goals at the College.

Throughout the year, we curate events, teachings and workshops to promote understanding and appreciation of Indigenous culture.

We are fortunate to learn from the knowledge of our elders. They are integral to the Indigenous Initiatives team as they help our community to better understand both our history and potential future.

Our team assists GBC's Indigenous community in navigating resources, providing information on college-wide activities, as well as other services such as counselling, cultural teachings and workshops.

Remembering the Honourable Murray Sinclair

As a college community, we were sad to hear of the passing of the Honourable Murray Sinclair, the former judge, human rights champion, senator, and chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). For us at George Brown, Sinclair’s work informed the creation of our Indigenous Education Strategy, collaboration and work with our treaty partner, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and other college-wide efforts to embed Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being into our decision-making, curriculums and community-building efforts on and off campus.
