Equity, diversity, and inclusion
At the Faculty of Science, we believe in the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and rely on them to create a supportive and inclusive community. Learn more about the importance of these key values and get inspired to take action.
Our commitment to reconciliation
Traditional Territories Acknowledgment
The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the 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 moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
