Please join the University of Lethbridge campus community in honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30. To provide space and time for reflection, there will be no classes and University offices will be closed on Tuesday, Sept. 30. The University’s decision to observe this day is consistent with the University’s commitment to indigenization, and specifically the Truth and Reconciliation process.
