Institutionalized injustice has protected alleged harassers at Mcgill university, as well as other universities, for too long. By donating to the Balanced Justice campaign you are empowering victims of harassment, discrimination and sexual assault to pursue legal proceedings against individuals with access to vast amounts of resources. Justice should not be for sale and with this campaign you are helping to balance the scales.

In 2016, a Canadian Metis dentistry student living with a permanent disability, Mr Greg Gareau, was asked to repeat the third year of McGill Dentistry's curriculum. His story can be found here: http://institutionalinjustice.com/ Mr Gareau is from a low income family and is the first of his famil...

Happy New Year Everyone! New Year, new term, new goals and resolutions! If getting more buff or leaning down is in your goals this year, join Carley Kennedy, trainer/ kinner extraordinaire, at the UBC aquatic center on Mondays at 4pm. Meet in the front lobby, bring gym clothes/ shoes and some goals in mind. We'll be doing group training and discussing other possible training, like swimming, or longer jogs.

Hello ISSHA,

Due to the demand by many ISSHA members and comments and suggestions from the peace pipe teaching ISSHA has moved the sweat protocol workshop to 3 pm to accommodate students who have class.

Wednesday, October 24th : Indigenous Students in Sciences and Health: Introduction to Sweat Protocol
UBC Indigenous Students in Sciences and Health will be hosting an introduction to the protocols involving a sweat. Shawn Shabaquay will be providing his expertise and traditional knowledge. For those who are interested in taking part in the sweats hosted by IAH and ISSHA. Strongly recommended for students planning on attending sweats.

Tuesday, October 24th 3:00PM-4:30PM

FIRST NATIONS LONGHOUSE
Elders Lounge

The workshop will be led by Shawn Shabaquay.

(From ISSHA's newsletter):

My name is Shawn Shabaquay, I am an
Anishanaabe from Wabigoon Lake Ontario. My
spirit name is Red Cloud and I am from the
Caribou clan. I am truly grateful for my culture, it
has made a huge impact on my life. I've fasted
and Sundanced once a year for the last 3 years.
Next summer will be my 4th year, which is
significant because it will represent one (4
year) cycle completed. The Sundance I go to is a
Cree sundance out in Lillouet. It's a 4 day event
that happens in July. I have also been to many
sweats (2 -4 a month) in the last 3 years. I've been
fortunate enough to hear many teachings
regarding my culture in this process. I've sat down
with Elders and asked for teachings regarding the
Sacred Pipe and Sweatlodge. I recently joined a
drum group that emphasizes the importance of
cultural practices and being responsible in terms
of lifestyle (No drugs or alcohol etc). My cultural
practices are a way of life. I'm really excited to
share what I've learned with ISSHA's cultural
club, it will benefit everybody in one way or
another.
