U of S launches new website

The University of Saskatchewan has launched a new Web site that brings together all of the university’s Aboriginal initiatives, lists all of the events, resources and programs affiliated with the university’s Aboriginal academic and community activities, and outlines partnership activities. It also provides an overview of U of S’s English River facilities, located on a First Nation reserve. It also provides an interactive Aboriginal Engagement Map, showing activities, academic and cultural programs, services and events that are happening on campus and in other Saskatchewan communities. “Aboriginal youth are the fastest growing segment of the population in the country, and Saskatchewan has one of the highest populations of Aboriginal people in Canada,” said Candace Wasacase-Lafferty, director of First Nation and Métis engagement at the U of S, in a news release.
