2024-2029 Strategic Action Plan
The title of the University of Regina’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, All Our Relations, is the English equivalent of a phrase familiar to most North American First Nations Peoples often used to formally acknowledge the interconnectedness of family and all their relations including those that walk on two feet, those that walk on four feet, those that swim in the great waters, those that fly in the sky and those that crawl on their bellies.
All Our Relations signifies a strong sense of mutuality and interdependence embodying respect for each other in thought, word, or deed. In this spirit, the University of Regina believes that our strength lies in our relationships and our interconnectedness and that together we are stronger. We believe in the power of community and by acknowledging All Our Relations we can honour who we are, where we are, where we have been, and where we are going.
