The UNBSU would like to acknowledge and grieve the incredible loss of 215 Indigenous children.

215 Indigenous children were found buried at a mass grave, at a Residential School in Kamloops, B.C. on Thursday, May 27th, 2021.

UNB and the UNBSU live on the unsurrendered and unceded traditional Wolastoqey land. The lands on which we are privileged to work and receive our education are the lands of the Wolastoqey people. The flags on UNB campus are currently lowered to honour the victims and to support the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc people.
