The University of Victoria has signed a five-year collaboration agreement with the Ts’uubaa-asatx Nation. The agreement was developed in the context of ongoing considerations around the future use of a 25-acre property, which has deep cultural and historical significance to the nation. Together, the partners will embark on initiatives such as educational programs, research projects, and community engagement activities. “Ts’uubaa-asatx is excited to enter into a multi-year collaboration agreement with UVic built on the guiding principles of respect, collaboration, commitment, transparency, culture, education and values for not only the property at Ch’itupt nit, but also in our approaches to education on all fronts,” said Ts’uubaa-asatx operations manager Nation Aaron Hamilton.
