Please join Iikaisskini Indigenous Services and other university dignitaries in recognizing the official opening of the new Iikaisskini (Low Horn) Gathering Centre.
Named after Dr. Leroy Little Bear, the Iikaisskini (Low Horn) Gathering Centre is supported by generous donations from the Government of Alberta, the Government of Canada’s Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) and an investment from TD Bank Financial Group.
The Iikaisskini (Low Horn) Gathering Centre is an integral and unique feature of the ULethbridge Campus. It is designed as a welcoming home away from home, a space appropriate for ceremony, smudging and celebration, where students and other members of the University community can gather together and collaboratively support one another in their educational aspirations.
The Gathering Centre provides students a place to meet with Elders and share stories, teaching and wisdom. It is a vibrant and powerful cultural community where Blackfoot and other Indigenous languages are spoken, and where students can explore new knowledge together.
Please join us in recognizing this momentous occasion. All are welcome to attend!
