Aaniin! My name is Melvin Peltier, Odawa from Wikwemikoong Unceded Territory. I am an Alumni of ²Ê¿â±¦µä’s School of Natural Environment. I am your Indigenous Student Recruiter at ²Ê¿â±¦µä.
My main role is to engage with our First Nations, Métis & Inuit (FNMI) students throughout high schools and communities across Ontario and parts of Quebec. I’d love the opportunity to connect with potential students and help them explore educational opportunities that will lead them to discover their true program passion.

Welcoming our Indigenous Students
I love welcoming Indigenous Groups of Students from remote First Nations communities like Pikangikum, Attawapiskat, and Sandy Lake along with our local area FNMI Community members and organizations. Bringing you on our campus tours and visiting our Indigenous Student Services Dept. also known as Enjimaawnjiding Centre. (If we happen to tour on Wednesday, the tour is in for a treat for free lunch during Soup and Bannock Day!).
