The University of Toronto commemorated the official opening of Ziibiing, an Indigenous landscape project that uses architecture, horticulture and storytelling to honour Indigenous cultures and provide a space for community members to gather, learn and host ceremonies on the St. George campus.
The opening celebration for Ziibiing, held Monday Sept. 23, included a traditional Elder's opening, a welcome song and the burning of a sacred fire - the first fire to be lit in Ziibiing's pavilion and one of several Indigenous ceremonial practices that are welcome on all three U of T campuses.
