Indigenous Student Centre
The Indigenous Student Centre (ISC) houses many services and programs for Indigenous students, but most importantly, it is a space for students to come together and find community. The ISC engages a community of people from a variety of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis cultures, backgrounds and world views. We strive to foster a diverse and supportive community where students can gather and learn together.
The ISC is located in the Federal Building at 620 Gordon Street. Come visit us!

All Indigenous students are encouraged to connect with the ISS.
