Happy New Year QWN! 

We know 2021 may not have started exactly the way we hoped, but let’s connect virtually to celebrate the new year and reconnect!

Join us on Wednesday January 27th from 12:00-1:00pm for a fun, team-based, word-association game – CODE NAMES! All you have to do is use the link below to join the Teams Meeting!

We’ll start with some quick updates on what is going on at QWN before playing the game (highlights below, more information to come).  Dependent on time, we will have some open discussion after the game to reconnect with each other as a group. 

  • QWN has applied to Queen’s for “official” ERG Status. Although we’ve been recognized as an ERG by Queen’s for a while, this formal application means that we would get an annual stipend!
  • QWN’s 2021 Mentorship Cycle is getting underway, thank you for all that applied!
  • We’re always looking for more members to get involved in helping organize QWN!  Are you looking for a new opportunity to gain organization, public speaking and project management experience and skills? Look no further!  Email qwn@queensu.ca today for more info!

Email qwn@queensu.ca to be added to our Listerve and recieve the invitation with the Teams Link!

Description:

Join the Principal Deane, University Senators and the Office of Indigenous Initiatives for the special virtual Polishing the Chain Ceremony. 

Zoom meeting link provided below, under Link for more information.

EVENT PURPOSE: “Polishing the chain” (Wampum Belt) ensures that a relationship does not become rusty and is a reaffirmation of the commitment between Queen’s and Indigenous peoples as ongoing and not just a moment in time.  

HISTORY: The friendship wampum belt was presented to Queen's University Senate by the Clan Mothers at Tyendinaga, and the Grandmothers' Council in Kingston, on March 7, 2017. This cherished symbol is now present at all Senate meetings, to represent the lasting covenant of peace and friendship.  

Wampum = Peace, Friendship, and Good Minds

Note: Wampum are traditionally beads made from shells.  Belts made of wampum are used to mark agreements, contracts, and commitments between peoples and are of particular significance when associated with treaties or covenants between Aboriginal peoples and European colonial powers.
