We are fortunate to be a community of diverse cultures, each with its own traditions and customs. Together, they enrich our campuses and support equity, inclusion and mutual respect.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we are honoured to recognize and celebrate the traditions, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis in our region and across Canada.

Entry level jobs aren’t vanishing because of AI – but they’re changing. Universities can prepare students by continuing to focus on teaching the human skills AI can’t easily replicate. Thanks @thechrisws for the thoughtful discussion. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
