Lakehead University is proud to announce a $600,000 gift from TD Bank Group in support of the Gichi Kendaasiwin Constellation: a collaborative network of Indigenous-led programs, supports and culturally grounded spaces designed to help Indigenous students feel welcomed, connected and supported throughout their Lakehead experience.
TD's investment will help expand:
✅ Indigenous mentorship and pathways to postsecondary education
✅ Access to Elders and Indigenous knowledge holders
✅ Opportunities to learn from Indigenous scholars
✅ Culturally grounded spaces for learning, gathering, ceremony and community connection on our Thunder Bay and Orillia campuses
The impact will reach beyond the classroom- strengthening relationships with communities, supporting Indigenous knowledge and ways of learning, and helping students build pathways toward graduation, careers and meaningful contributions to their communities.
We’re grateful to TD for investing in a more connected and welcoming Lakehead community and helping turn our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation into meaningful action.
