Canadian Mennonite University is located on territory stewarded for generations by the Anishinaabe, Cree, Dakota, and Métis people. Our campus sits on Treaty 1 lands, where we access clean drinking water from Shoal Lake 39 and 40 in Treaty 3 territory and use hydro power generated on Treaty 5 territory. We benefit from these treaty relationships every day and are committed to living purposefully as we work towards reconciliation and build meaningful, lasting relationships with Indigenous people and with all of God's creation.

Canadian Mennonite University is committed to embodying the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. This means fostering a safe and welcoming environment for people of all identities, orientations, backgrounds, and beliefs.
