Selkirk College invites employees and students to submit proposals for winter and spring 2026 funding through the Nathan and Anna Fund for Peace and Reconciliation.
The fund supports initiatives that advance reconciliation and peacebuilding on Selkirk College campuses and within surrounding communities. It offers up to $3,500 per year to eligible projects.
Selkirk College employees and students are encouraged to propose projects that promote reconciliation, peacebuilding, pacifism, truth-telling and the strengthening of community relationships. Projects should be grounded in reconciliation and peacebuilding, as shaped by the land and the shared histories of the people who live on it and move across it. All initiatives must align with Indigenous values, as articulated in the Selkirk College Indigenization Plan, as well as values important to Doukhobors, as named in the application. Indigenous and Doukhobor members of the Mir Centre for Peace Advisory Council guided the identification of the values that will inform project assessment and selection.
