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.

If your location is on the list below, please get in touch with FMP to get a permanent sign added to your space.

If your location has not been pre-approved, please print, fill out and post the below signage:
