Aboriginal Activity Centres
Unique to SIAST campuses are Aboriginal Activity Centres. Aboriginal Activity Centres exist to develop, establish and promote measures that will enhance the participation, success and cultures of Aboriginal students. Although accessible to all students, centre staff primarily provide support services to students of Aboriginal ancestry. All centres offer cultural activities and events. Centres are open from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The centres provide a place where students can do the following (other services available may vary by campus):
- meet people and find out what is happening
- do homework or study
- referral to tutorial support
- use the centre computers
- eat lunch and have coffee
- sign-up for cultural, educational and recreational activities
- access Elders or cultural advisors
