The federal government is expected to announce in the next few weeks that it intends to return the land where Royal Roads University stands to Indigenous peoples
Philip Twyford, Royal Roads’ vice-president of finance and operations, said the university is expecting the declaration this month or next month, although the details have not been worked out.
The federal government’s declaration will start another round of negotiations that could take a number of years, said Twyford, who called repatriation of the land “the right thing to do.”The university signed agreements in 2018 with the Songhees Nation and in 2019 with the Esquimalt Nation that outline the process of working together “to ensure the university’s continued and successful operation,” he said.
