The Office will be committed to building and strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities locally, provincially, nationally and internationally, and fostering an academic environment, where all students, staff, faculty and community members experience the university as a welcoming, supportive, culturally-safe environment in which Indigenous languages, ways of knowing, being and doing are respected and supported.

The Specialist will support the development, implementation, and assessment of Indigenous-related communications and marketing initiatives, with a view to ensuring a consistent design platform for OII; implementing a visual identity that employs Indigenous motifs and themes to express Indigenous values, identities and traditions; and elevating Indigenous presence across Western and in the wider community.**Qualifications**:
