The University of the Fraser Valley, Indigenous Student Centre has the support of community Elders on call at both Abbotsford and Chilliwack centre. Along with supporting the students at the centre, our Elders are involved with supporting classes at the university which include, History, Halq’eméylem language classes, Stó:lō Tea & Talk, and Indigenous Studies. Other events that our Elders participate in throughout the year have been The Witness Blanket Ceremony, Friends without Borders, Indigenous Film Series, Indigenous Student Graduation Reception, Metis Day, and National Indigenous Peoples Day.
