Past SAGE programming include feasts, virtual coffee chats and the annual SAGE Writing Retreat at Wintergreen Studios!

If you've been around 4D, or even have followed us on social media, you know that fires are a staple of our programming at 4D. The ability to host peer-led fires is something we're very proud to be able to offer!

The firekeeper team works very closely with our Elder and visiting Knowledge Keepers to receive teachings, and then run social and sacred fires. They also help maintain the tipi space and get hands on with Elder Betty, learning how to cook traditional foods.

We are hiring 2-3 firekeepers ($18.60/hour), and one Senior Firekeeper ($21.60/hour), and we encourage folks of all gender expressions to apply.

Being able to offer evening and weekend hours is huge for our Indigenous students looking for access to study spaces, social connection, laundry or snacks :)

The 2025-2026 4D Social Ambassador team took groups of Indigenous students to an escape room and on a haunted walk, and hosted board games and Nintendo Switch nights, a gingerbread house competition, beading circle and a paint night!

If getting together with peers and doing social group activities sounds like a good time, you may enjoy being a Social Ambassador. The ideal candidates would be comfortable chatting with others, encouraging, and responsible as this role includes hosting programs without a full time staff present.

We will be hiring two Social Ambassadors, at a rate of $18.60/hour. Upper year Indigenous students are invited to apply here: https://www.queensu.ca/fourdirections/employment-opportunities

Upper year Indigenous students, consider applying to be an Indigenous Peer Mentor at 4D!
