The “canoe course,” as it’s known on campus, provides insight into Indigenous pedagogy by leading learners down a path of respectful practice, community engagement and personal responsibility.

The University of Victoria's Faculty of Education reserves 5% of the positions in all of the faculty's programs for Indigenous applicants who meet the Faculty of Education's minimum program entrance requirements and Indigenous application requirements. This provision also applies to programs offered by the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education.

Applicants wishing to apply to a program offered by the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education on the grounds of their self-identified aboriginal status should submit a Program Application Form, as well as the Supplementary Form for First Nations, Métis and Inuit Students. 

The program application must be submitted to the Undergraduate Records office by January 31.

The supplementary application form should be submitted to the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education general office.
