Members are providing input on the university's strategic plan to ensure a more inclusive and culturally safe environment. The group is chaired by Maurice Switzer and includes representatives like Fran Couchie.[2]
- September 2023: The council acted as a resource and partner during the development of the university's new strategic plan in the spirit of a Treaty relationship.

The group's chair expressed interest in seeing the plan's vision realized through future operational steps.[3]
- April 2025: The council stopped meeting at the Treaty Learning Centre because it is located within a library named after Mike Harris.

The group works to ensure appropriate Indigenous curriculum and a welcoming environment for the 160 Indigenous students on campus.[1]
