York University and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) Mazina’iga-ziibing Misi-zaagiwininiwag have signed a Memorandum of Understanding focused on collaborative work in the spirit of reciprocity. The initiatives include the advancement of work addressing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action at YorkU, the co-creation of spaces and learning outcomes alongside MCFN, and collaboration on Michi Saagiig language and culture revitalization. Additionally, the agreement will include tuition waivers for eligible MCFN members. “By working together to co‑create learning spaces, support Indigenous learners, and honour the Mississaugas of the Credit as caretakers of the land, we are strengthening pathways to education while deepening understanding across our community,” said YorkU President Lisa Philipps.
