Facilities Management wishes to inform the campus community that there will be the potential of smoke as there is an approved Sacred Fire taking place at the Tipi in the UPEI Quadrangle from 9 am–12 pm on Monday, September 29, 2025. 

Sacred Fires are small fires used for Indigenous ceremonies and important events. They are lit and kept burning under the close supervision of a Firekeeper and allowed to burn out naturally. A Sacred Fire represents a spiritual doorway to honour ancestors, with offerings of sacred medicines that are fed to the fire by participants.
