Iniskim Centre takes the health and safety of students, staff, faculty, and visitors to campus very seriously.

Each week, the Student Success Program hosts a variety of services for Indigenous students. We aim to create a sense of wellness and belonging in the Iniskim Centre and its community. These services will help you gain the willingness and begin to feel comfortable asking instructors, support staff and tutors questions while meeting in a safe and encouraging environment.

For Winter 2021, all of these services will be provided online.

The Iniskim Centre offers programs and services to increase the engagement and success of Indigenous students while also raising awareness of Indigenous peoples and cultures. 

Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, and the Îyârhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is Mohkinstsis, which we now call the City of Calgary. The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.

We recognize and respect the diversity of all Indigenous peoples of Canada. We also increase awareness of distinct Indigenous cultures, history and protocols across the University.
