Queen's has honoured recently retired Associate Vice-Principal Kanonhsyonne (Janice Hill), Ed’99, by naming the Outdoor Indigenous Gathering Space. "Tsi Yakwanahstahsontéhrha – the place where we extend the rafters" is taken from the Haudenosaunee tradition of building good relations and refers to the practice of extending the rafters of the Longhouse to create room for newcomers, allowing the community to thrive.
As "election season" is just around the corner, I wanted to show my letter of support as an an example of how student leaders can work with Queen's administration and the Board of Trustees.
