Join us at Laurier

Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.


You will find our Indigenous Student Centres on both the Waterloo and Brantford campuses. These centres serve not only as places where Indigenous students can connect with their heritage, but also as places of education for the broader Laurier community. 

Where to Find Us

  • Brantford Indigenous Student Centre: 111 Darling Street

Medicine Gardens

Both Indigenous student centre locations feature community gardens where Laurier staff and student volunteers grow plants native to North America. Sage, tobacco, sweet grass, lavender, mint and chamomile are just some of the plant varieties you'll find growing at the centres.
