Key Initiatives

University of Regina Strategic Plan
The title of our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, All Our Relations, is the English equivalent of a phrase familiar to most North American First Nations Peoples often used to formally acknowledge the interconnectedness of family and all their relations including those that walk on two feet, those that walk on four feet, those that swim in the great waters, those that fly in the sky and those that crawl on their bellies.
All Our Relations signifies a strong sense of mutuality and interdependence embodying respect for each other in thought, word, or deed. In this spirit, the University of Regina believes that our strength lies in our relationships and our interconnectedness and that together we are stronger. We believe in the power of community and by acknowledging All Our Relations we can honour who we are, where we are, where we have been, and where we are going.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The implementation of the principles of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is integral to the University of Regina 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, entitled Kahkiyaw kiwâhkômâkaninawak - All Our Relations. EDI is embedded in the Strategic Plan as an institutional value promoting equitable systems and inclusion across all levels - staff, faculty, leadership, students and notably individuals who identify with an equity-deserving group. The implementation of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is poised to steer the University of Regina towards a reflection of the diverse and inclusive world we aspire to create.

Indigenous Engagement
The University of Regina’s Office of Indigenous Engagement serves the entire University community, including its three federated colleges, the First Nations University of Canada, Campion College, and Luther College.
