Carleton University acknowledges the right of Indigenous students, staff and faculty to smudge on campus. To ensure that the use of traditional medicines does not result in any health and safety concerns, or trigger smoke and heat-detecting alarms, various locations on campus have been assessed and have been designated pre-approved for events or gatherings where smudging will take place
Below is a list of pre-approved smudge spaces on campus. This means any Indigenous person who wants or needs to engage in ceremony can instantaneously engage, without asking permission. These locations have been approved by Health and Safety and the Centre for Indigenous Support and Community Engagement.
If your location is on the list below, please get in touch with FMP to get a permanent sign added to your space.
