First Peoples House

In adopting "A Vision for the Future: Building on Strength, " its strategic plan, the University of Victoria pledged to build "on our commitment to our unique relationship with Canada's First Peoples." One of the ways the university stated it would achieve this objective was through the construction of a First Peoples House.

First Peoples House will create a welcoming and supportive space on campus for Indigenous students and the broader community. The House will support the academic, emotional, spiritual and physical needs of Indigenous students, while recognizing and honouring the diversity of values and beliefs among Indigenous people.
