Visit an Elder
Elders play a vital role in the First Peoples House, offering support for Indigenous students who are balancing walking in two-worlds. Whether you're seeking advice, cultural teachings, or simply a place to feel at home, the Elders' Lounge is here for you. The warm and welcoming environment is a place for reflection, conversation and building connections within the community.
