3We Acknowledge
Lakehead University respectfully acknowledges its campuses
are located on the traditional lands of Indigenous Peoples.
Lakehead Thunder Bay is located on the traditional lands of the
Fort William First Nation, Signatory to the Robinson Superior Treaty
of 1850. Lakehead Orillia is located on the traditional territory of the
Anishinaabeg. The Anishinaabeg include the Ojibwe, Odawa, and
Pottawatomi nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy.
Lakehead University acknowledges the history that many nations hold in
the areas around our campuses, and is committed to a relationship with
First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples based on the principles of mutual
trust, respect, reciprocity, and collaboration in the spirit of reconciliation.
Lakehead University is home
to some of the brightest minds
and innovative thinkers.
We are a place where students are empowered to seek a one
of a kind education, where faculty prioritize the needs of our
students to create enriching educational experiences, and
staff cultivate relationships within our communities and
around the world.
At Lakehead University we honour the diversity of our students
and encourage the celebration of many cultures and nations.
We are a university like no other by teaching our students
how to think not what to think. Open your world to the endless
possibilities of an exceptional and unconventional education.
It’s in Our Nature | Welcome to Lakehead

“I was so fortunate to be able to attend Stockholm University in Sweden,
through Lakehead’s North2North program.
I met wonderful people from around the globe, and decided that pursuing a
career in international recruitment was the right choice for me.
If you are considering participating in a North2North exchange, be open to
new opportunities, say ‘yes’ more than you say ‘no’, remember that some of
the most important lessons in life are taught outside of the classroom. Keep
your mind and heart open to others!”
