National Building Reconciliation Forum 2025
The First Nations University of Canada and the University of Regina are honoured to be co-hosting the 9th National Building Reconciliation Forum in Regina, Saskatchewan. This year’s Forum will focus on the theme Responsibility as Reconciliation: Relational Accountability, marking a decade since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action.
The Forum, supported by Universities Canada, will take place on Treaty 4 Territory, home of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples, and the homeland of the Michif/Métis Nation. This event will bring together Canadian university presidents and leadership teams, Indigenous leaders, student representatives, and scholars dedicated to advancing meaningful reconciliation. The Forum aims to provide a platform for critical discussions on how to sustain and deepen reconciliation efforts within post-secondary institutions.
The Forum’s overarching purpose connects Indigenous and university communities to facilitate dialogue and drive meaningful systemic change, support Indigenization, decolonization and reconciliation efforts. By addressing these critical focus areas, the Forum aims to reinforce the responsibility that higher education leaders must listen, collaborate, and build partnerships with Indigenous peoples.
