Algoma University, Makwa Waakaa’igan Indigenous Centre of Cultural Excellence

Makwa Waakaa’igan Indigenous Centre of Cultural Excellence transforms the historic Shingwauk Hall site into a three-storey centre for healing, cultural preservation, dialogue, and reconciliation at Algoma University. The project advances the University’s mission to teach the truth about the residential school system while supporting healing and reconciliation. The Centre will showcase the life’s work of the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association and house the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre archives.
