鈥淲hile we鈥檝e always taken care to recognize and celebrate our Indigenous graduates, for the past few years, we did it from a distance,鈥� said聽Celeste Pedri-Spade, Associate Provost (Indigenous Initiatives), addressing attendees at the 2026 Scarf Ceremony. 鈥淏eing together again in this space carries a different kind of meaning.鈥�
