Acadia University acknowledges that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq.
This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which the Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik, and
Peskotomuhkatiyik Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. _These treaties did not implicate or _
- affirm the surrender or transfer of land to the British, but recognized Mi’kmaq title and set the rules for what _
- was to be a long-standing relationship between nations_. _Acknowledging the land that we are on, means that _
- we are working towards decolonization across campus._

Acadia University is recognized as one of Canada’s premier undergraduate institutions. Academic innovation
and a personalized learning environment have garnered the university a reputation for success. Acadia is
nestled in the Town of Wolfville, amongst orchards and vineyards in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. A short
walk from the shores of the renowned Bay of Fundy, the area offers a small-town setting with a relaxed lifestyle
and outstanding cultural and recreational opportunities. With a progressive commitment to sustainability, the
region offers locally crafted artisan food and beverage with many communities embracing organic, fair trade,
and farm-to-table ideals. The Annapolis Valley is home to highly developed agricultural, agri-food, bio
- technology, and manufacturing industries that offer growing employment and research opportunities. It is also
home to 14 Wing Greenwood, the largest air base on the East Coast. Southern Nova Scotia is surrounded by
ocean and therefore has an experienced fishing industry, marine research, and ocean technology companies.
Halifax, which is only 50 minutes from Wolfville, provides a wide variety of opportunities and connections
academically and commercially in terms of research.
