Funding to enhance Aboriginal experience at U of L

The University of Lethbridge has received a $400,000 gift in support of First Nations’ initiatives. The money, given by TD Bank Group, will be used to enhance educational experiences for Blackfoot and other First Nations, Métis and Inuit students. The funding will support the already established First Nations’ Transition Program and the creation of a First Nations’ Gathering Centre on the U of L campus. President Mike Mahon says the university places tremendous emphasis on the success of Blackfoot and other FNMI students and an inclusive campus is critical in achieving that goal.
