The Turtle Lounge

The Centre for Aboriginal Initiatives houses the administrative and faculty offices of the Aboriginal Studies Program. The overall space is shared between the Aboriginal Studies Program and projects of the Centre for Aboriginal Initiatives. The Turtle Lounge is a feature of the space, and a gathering place where students and visitors are welcomed by bright murals commissioned by Indigenous artists. It is used for workshops, presentations, meetings and smaller language classes, as well as a gathering place for Aboriginal Studies students, staff and instructors – a place that reflects a sense of belonging.
