"At #UAlberta, there is this welcoming hub, filled with big aunty energy and a place that has all your smudging essentials, First Peoples’ House. Within this home away from home, there is a specific place for any Indigenous student." bit.ly/3MbFCHY @FPH_ualberta

On Sept 30, we encourage everyone to wear an orange shirt and share “Why I Wear Orange” to remember the experiences and loss of the thousands of children who were stolen from their families and placed in Indian Residential Schools (IRS). #ualbertaosd2020 ualberta.ca/current-studen…

Thank you EPCOR for your generous donation of $130,000 for First Peoples' House (FPH) and the Transition Year Program (TYP) for programming over the next three years to help support students who are interested in pursuing degrees in STEM.

Yesterday, alumna Melody McArthur stopped by for a visit. Since her graduation in 2015, she has become a successful musician and champion of indigenous rights in the criminal justice system. Thank you for your generous donation and for sharing your story with us!

Today is Orange Shirt Day! Join First Peoples' House and our students in wearing your orange shirt to honor and remember the residential school experience and commit to reconciliation. #OrangeShirtDay #UAlberta #firstpeopleshouseuofa
