Memorial, McGill announce updates on Indigenous verification protocols

Memorial University and McGill University have shared updates on their Indigenous verification protocols and policies. Memorial has received a report summarizing community perspectives and approaches to Indigenous verification that will inform the development of an Indigenous verification protocol at the university. Memorial will consider the report and invite further feedback from community members as it develops an Indigenous verification policy. McGill has launched a new policy to validate claims of Indigenous citizenship and membership for those who are applying for designated employment opportunities. The policy has been implemented after nearly two years of consultation and study.
