We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

UOIT’s Tori Campbell named a CIS All-Canadian

March 13, 2014

Campbell, a first-year Criminology and Justice undergraduate student at UOIT, finished first among all OUA freshmen goaltenders.

University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) goaltender Tori Campbell of Lethbridge, Alberta was named a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) All-Canadian as a member of the 2013-2014 all-rookie team. The announcement was made on March 12 at the Scotiabank CIS championship banquet hosted by St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Campbell, a first-year Criminology and Justice undergraduate student, finished first among all Ontario University Athletics (OUA) freshmen goaltenders with 1.54 goals against average as she earned 10 wins, the most of any goaltender in the seven-year history of the UOIT women's Ridgebacks hockey program. She posted a 10-5-1 conference record with three shutouts while finishing in the top five among all OUA goaltenders with an impressive .932 save percentage. In 14 of her 16 outings, she allowed two goals or less.

“What a great honour for Tori,” said Karen Nystrom, Head Coach, UOIT Ridgebacks women’s hockey. “She came into the season as a rookie but played like a veteran, giving the team a chance to win every night.”

Campbell played a big role in the Ridgebacks reaching the playoffs for the second straight year while the team set program highs for wins (13) and points (27) in a season.

Joining Campbell on the CIS all-rookie squad were defenders Stephanie Digness of the University of Waterloo and Caitlin Fyten of the University of Manitoba, and forwards Kaitlin Willoughby of the University of Saskatchewan, Breanne Lanceleve of Saint Mary’s University and Vickie Lemire of the University of Ottawa.

Campbell is the second UOIT women’s hockey student-athlete to be named an all-Canadian. UOIT Captain Jill Morillo, a fifth-year Nuclear Engineering and Management student, is the only other, as she was a CIS all-Canadian and the recipient of the Marion Hilliard award in 2012.

The Scotiabank CIS championship starts on Thursday, March 13 at the Grant Harvey Centre and culminates on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Atlantic Time with the gold-medal final, live on the Sportsnet networks. All nine games from the six-team competition will also be webcast live on www.CIS-SIC.tv
