K-12 schools and postsecondary institutions across Canada hosted community-building activities, informational sessions, and other events to help Indigenous students get oriented to their new lives on campus. Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School—an all-Indigenous high school in Thunder Bay—and First Nations University both held Amazing Race challenges to introduce students to campus and the broader community that they would be living in. Several postsecondary institutions—including Nipissing University, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, University of Manitoba, and Vancouver Island University—also held dedicated sessions and events for Indigenous students as part of their broader orientation events. These included traditional games, ceremonies, and introductions to Indigenous staff and supports around campus.
