Set in the heart of the Canadian prairies we are a comprehensive, mid-sized university where the opportunities are as limitless as the horizon. Our campuses are on Treaty 4 and 6 - the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples, and the homeland of the Michif/Métis nation. It is our responsibility to strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities to build a more inclusive future for all. Our three federated colleges, 10 faculties, 25 academic departments, and 18 research centres foster innovative research with practical and theoretical applications. We are committed to cultivating the potential of our 16,700 students and supporting their health and well-being. We take learning beyond the classroom through work and volunteer experiences to develop career-ready graduates.

Reflect Orbital’s plans to have more than 50,000 satellites reflecting sunlight back to earth could disrupt the circadian rhythms of plants, animals and humans.

From space hotels and artificial meteor showers, to a new giant mirror that reflects sunlight to Earth — low-Earth orbit is getting weird.
There are more than one million pieces of lethal debris that are too small to be tracked and that satellites risk colliding with in low-Earth orbit.

How prepared are we for a solar storm, bad software update or cybersecurity event that could trigger widespread loss of satellite control?

If SpaceX launches one million new satellites, it will increase atmospheric pollution and risk of falling debris. And we will see more satellites than stars.
Bison graze in a field in Oxbow, Sask. What Treaty 4 means depends on whose story you believe — the federal government tells one story; First Nations treaty Elders and legal scholars tell another.

The official interpretation of Treaty 4 is historically contested. And if that interpretation is wrong, then Canada’s claim to “Crown land” and settler ownership rests on a deeply unstable foundation.
Planned ‘megaconstellations’ of satellites could cause unforeseen harm to the ozone layer and climate systems. Global regulation is needed before it’s too late.
Beluga whales swim in a tank at the Marineland amusement park in Niagara Falls, Ont., in June 2023. Since 2019, 19 belugas, one dolphin and one orca have died at Marineland.

Whether capturing them on film, containing them in amusement parks, or subjecting them to scientific experiments, our curiosity about whales and dolphins has compelled us to capture them out of the ocean.
Visão de um astrônomo de uma estrela obscurecida por traços deixados pelos satélites da Starlink: projetos que preveem o lançamento de milhões de satélites não são avaliados pelos seus impactos científicos, culturais e ambientais.

Cultural, spiritual, and most environmental impacts aren’t taken into account when launching thousands of satellites.
When wetlands are drained, carbon-rich sediments are exposed to the air, allowing rapid decomposition and the release of carbon dioxide.

Some tout wetland drainage as providing numerous benefits, including reducing emissions. This assertion is not supported by science.
We need arts and cultural policy that embeds foundational principles of care, accountability and attention to reciprocal and equitable relationships.

Conversations with Black, Indigenous and racialized artists in Western Canada point to key ways to protect and deepen equity-driven practices across cultural sectors.

Alberta’s unions face significant political obstacles, but the evidence shows their resilience pays off for working people
and benefits the fabric of democratic societies.
Prime Minister Mark Carney greets Canadian troops as he visits Adazi Military base in Adazi, Latvia in August 2025. Canada’s military presence in Latvia means it’s on the front lines in any potential war in the Baltics.

Baltic countries offer Canada a clear blueprint for countering Russian coercion, preparing for crisis and building resilience without surrendering democratic values.
In health care, generative AI offers welcome relief by automating documentation and translation, yet its unchecked use in health settings could erode public trust in medical data protection.

Shadow AI is the unsanctioned use of AI systems without formal institutional oversight. In health care, it means pasting patient details into public chatbots.
