Métis Nation–Saskatchewan Signs Historic Agreement On Métis Citizenship And Identity With University Of Saskatchewan

Today, the Métis Nation– Saskatchewan (MN–S) government and the University of Saskatchewan (USask) signed an agreement on Métis citizenship and identity. The agreement will ensure the university will rely on the objectively verifiable MN–S Citizenship Registry to assess eligibility for Métis based opportunities at the university. This is a precedent-setting partnership between a Canadian University and a Métis Government.

Winter term vaccination requirements

I am writing today to inform our campus community that we will be further strengthening the role vaccinations play in keeping our USask campuses and workplaces safe. To be able to safely offer more in-person instruction and campus activities, we have made the decision to require anyone on our campuses or in our workplaces to be fully vaccinated, beginning at the start of the Winter Term.
