CDVMP Ground Blessing & Announcement Ceremonies

Lakehead University in partnership with University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College hosted a milestone event yesterday that I was so happy to be a part of. It was the Collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program ground breaking ceremony.

“A ground blessing ceremony led by Elder Gene Nowegejick and attended by university leadership, donors, and government partners on Lakehead's Thunder Bay campus signalled the ceremonial start of construction for a new animal education facility that will open in 2027. The event celebrated the newly confirmed Indigenous name for the future facility: Gakina Awesiinyag, from the Anishinaabemowin language, translating to All Animals (Place For).”
