Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig - Shingwauk Teaching Lodge

Introducing the Indigenous Post-Secondary Education Network!

Formerly known as APSIP, the Indigenous Post-Secondary Education Network is a collective of Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) representatives from colleges, universities, polytechnics, and Indigenous learning institutes who work together to strengthen pathways and support Indigenous learners in accessing and succeeding in post-secondary education.

Our new name reflects who we are today: a collaborative network grounded in relationships, reciprocity, and shared learning.

Through The Network, we’ll continue to:
• Support Indigenous learners in exploring post-secondary opportunities
• Strengthen relationships between communities and institutions
• Share resources, events, and pathways to education
• Celebrate Indigenous student success

Follow along as we share opportunities, celebrate Indigenous student success, and continue building stronger pathways to post-secondary education.

Boozhoo, please note that our campus will be closed on Monday, August 03rd, 2026 and will re-open on Tuesday, August 04th, 2026 in observance of Civic Holiday ✨

Mino Anishinaabek Giizhigad, Happy Indigenous Peoples Day from Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig! 🪶

Today invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the land, with one another, and with the stories that continue to shape Indigenous Nations across Turtle Island.

We honour and uplift the strength, beauty, and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, celebrating the richness of our cultures, languages, and teachings that guide us every day. As Anishinaabe people, we hold deep knowledge, living traditions, and a sacred relationship with Aki (Mother Earth).

This day also coincides with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, when the Sun is at its peak and the Earth is alive with growth and energy. It is a powerful time of renewal, gratitude, and celebration, a moment to recognize the fullness of life and the seeds that have come into bloom. 🌞🌻

For generations, this has been a time to gather, give thanks, and strengthen our connection to the land and to each other. May we carry that spirit forward today and every day. 🌎

Notice:
We will be closed today Friday, June 19 for our staff training and on Monday, June 22 in observance of National Indigenous Peoples Day. We will re-open on Tuesday, June 23 at 8:00 AM.

Community Gardening Day is canceled JUST for this week.
