Service day is part of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½’s Robertson Institute for Community Leadership (RICL), a Signature Learning Experience that has become the heart of creating a culture of leadership and service. Follow RICL on twitter, , to see how our students and staff are Transforming New Brunswick.

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ campuses are located on Mi’kmaq, Wolastoq and Peskotomuhkati homelands. Since 1726 this land has been subject to treaties that are still in effect today. We are grateful to learn together on this land and do so guided by the original spirit of those treaties - peace, respect and friendship.
