(Re)Mapping the Campus: A Walking Tour

Friday, June 20, 2025
11pm–1pm
Ziibiing Pavilion and Simcoe Hall
University of Toronto St. George Campus

Please register on Eventbrite.

In honour of National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous People’s Day, join us for (Re)Mapping the Campus, a walking tour that will take you to several contemporary artworks by Indigenous artists on the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus.

The tour will start at Ziibiing Pavilion and Gardens, where John Croutch of the Office of Indigenous Initiatives will lead us on an interactive tour. We will learn about Ziibiing’s cultural and spiritual connections to Indigenous cosmologies and the natural world through the Pavillion’s structure and the Garden’s native plants.  

We will then visit Simcoe Hall to see acknowledging the land, featuring artworks by Rebecca Belmore, Katherine Takpannie, Catherine Blackburn, Lori Blondeau, Dana Claxton, Caroline Monnet and Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory with Jamie Griffiths. Each stop offers an opportunity to learn through conversation and reflection, and to remap the campus through Indigenous points of reference.  

Our walk will finish with snacks, cool beverages, and informal chats about the walk and the works we saw together.   

Registration is necessary as spots are limited. Meeting location details will be sent upon registration.
