    Indigenous spaces on campus

    Migizii Agamik

    At the heart of the Fort Garry campus is Migizii Agamik-Bald Eagle Lodge, which stands as a central gathering place where students, staff and community share and achieve. 

    Visit Migizii Agamik to take part in Fireside Chats, the Annual Elders Gathering, Neechiwaken Indigenous Peer Mentor Program or to meet with an Indigenous student advisor.

    The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation

    UM is committed to the journey of Reconciliation and to advancing Indigenous rights, research and scholarship. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) was born out of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, to preserve the history of Canada’s Residential School system and legacy forever.

    The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s collection of statements, documents and other materials forms the heart of the NCTR. 

    Medicine Garden of Indigenous Learning

    Located on the Bannatyne campus, the Medicine Garden of Indigenous Learning is a welcoming place for people to meet, share and learn about the importance and value of traditional knowledges and medicines. Elders and Knowledge Keepers host teaching circles in this space.

    The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

    We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

    Housing and accommodations

    Your time outside of the classroom will be one of the most memorable and rewarding parts of your UM experience. Living in residence, with a host family or with fellow students near campus is about more than the convenience of being close to your classes and labs – it’s about meeting new people and belonging to a community.

    Living on campus

    The Fort Garry campus is home to six residences, each equipped with furnished rooms and free high-speed Internet. Single or double (shared) rooms are available. Residence living offers a variety of meal plans, study spaces, lounges, laundry facilities and parking. Don’t forget to apply early, as rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

    Homestay

    Living with a Canadian host family is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture and community.

    Off-campus housing

    Our off-campus housing website can connect you with potential rentals, sublets and other students looking for roommates.
