Description

The Rediscovery Society's youth program enriches the lives of many young people, native and non-native, who are at odds with themselves, their home life and the law. A wide range of challenging activities serve to nurture the spirit, promote self-confidence and rekindle the desire to learn. These activities include a six-day backpacking trip in the Queen Charlotte islands, exploration of ancient villages, drum songs, a Haida Potlatch re-eanactment, and a 24-hour solo trip in the woods.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
