The mandate of The Native Centre at the University of Calgary is to provide a culturally appropriate environment that encourages and supports the success of Aboriginal students in their pursuit of knowledge and higher education. We host events throughout the year, often in partnership with the First Nations Student Association.

Our staff is dedicated to enriching the quality of the student experience for Aboriginal learners at the University of Calgary, and to promoting the beauty, vitality, and diversity of Aboriginal culture within the University community. Learn more
