December 6, 2021
Indigenous House will feature inclusive learning spaces that foster a safe and thriving academic environment while upholding Indigenous traditions and practices.
The University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) announced in 2020 that the campus will open a new building called the Indigenous House.
