Traditional Territories Acknowledgement
The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Ojibwe-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
Fort Garry campus
Cradled in a bow of the Red River in a treed, green setting 20 minutes from the city centre, the historic Fort Garry campus encompasses more than 280 hectares. More than 90 major buildings host a range of world-class facilities including four colleges, laboratories, teaching and learning spaces, administrative and service offices, recreation facilities, research agencies, libraries and residences with open spaces and an interwoven network of streets, pedestrian pathways and plazas.
Bannatyne campus
UM's downtown campus is a vibrant urban community adjacent to the Health Sciences Centre. Serving our province’s future health professionals, this nine-building complex focuses on collaboration across disciplines — and trains the doctors, nurses and other health care professionals that go on to serve throughout Manitoba and beyond.
Indigenous spaces on campus
The University of Manitoba is committed to weaving Indigenous perspectives and knowledges across our campuses and building respectful relationships with Indigenous communities. In addition to several dedicated Indigenous spaces, Indigenous planning and design principles were created under the guidance of an Indigenous Advisory Committee and Subcommittee.
The Cultural Landscape of the Fort Garry Campus recognizes the precolonial Indigenous and environmental histories of the lands as visible and significant components of the campus environment, and as a crucial part of campus’s culture, heritage and identity. This document offers additional themes, ideas and issues to be explored and built upon when undertaking planning and design work.
