Durham College's Aboriginal Centre

Durham College’s (DC) Aboriginal Centre, Suswaaning Endaajig, “Nest Away From Home”, is a place for all members of Durham College to visit.  There are workshops and presentations for everyone to attend and enjoy. 

In 2015, DC President, Don Lovisa, along with several Aboriginal community representatives including Chiefs and a Métis Senator gathered to sign the Indigenous Education Protocol for Colleges and Institutes, continuing the college’s commitment to supporting Aboriginal students on campus.

The protocol highlights the importance of structures and approaches required to address Indigenous Peoples’ learning needs and support self-determination and socio-economic development of Indigenous communities. It also complements the recommendations outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call to action.

DC is situated on the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nations, and acknowledges the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nations community for allowing us to be guests on their territories.
