Acadia University is recognized as one of Canada’s premier undergraduate institutions. Academic innovation
and a technology-rich teaching and learning environment have garnered the university a reputation for
excellence. Our progressive workplace is located only one hour from Halifax in Nova Scotia's beautiful
Annapolis Valley – a small-town setting offering an affordable lifestyle, outstanding recreational opportunities,
internationally acclaimed restaurants, a healthy economy, and the best weather in the Atlantic Provinces.

This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which the Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik, and
Peskotomuhkatiyik Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. These treaties did not implicate or
affirm the surrender or transfer of land to the British but recognized Mi’kmaq title and set the rules for what was
to be a long-standing relationship between nations. Acknowledging the land that we are on, means that we are
working towards decolonization across campus.
