Visit our qʷeqʷayʔawt̓xʷ! The qʷeqʷayʔawt̓xʷ on the tiwšɛmawtxʷ campus welcomes all campus community members. It is a place where one comes to talk and home-away-from-home for First Nations, Status, Non-Status, Metis, and Inuit students where an Elder in Residence is available to assist with matters that arise at each stage of the student experience.
At the qʷeqʷayʔawt̓xʷ, cultural, academic, recreational, and social activities are promoted and celebrated. The entire campus community can come together to feast and to participate in success workshops and other community events throughout the year.
At VIU, history and traditions are acknowledged, contributions are valued, and success is celebrated.
