UVic Law Alumnus Doug White named Interim Director of New Centre at VIU
Congratulations to UVic Law alumnus Doug White (‘07) on his appointment as Interim Director for Vancouver Island University ’s new Centre for Pre-Confederation Treaties and Reconciliation.
The Centre will focus on advancing research, understanding, and public dialogue in relation to Pre-Confederation Treaties and the challenge of reconciliation.
White is the former Chief of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, as well as a former member of the First Nations Summit Task Group and the BC First Nations Leadership Council.
The project of treaty implementation and reconciliation requires a deep understanding of history and the active participation of various groups and communities, including institutions of higher learning.

White’s extensive knowledge and expertise will undoubtedly help to make the Centre a great success.
