One of the suggestions we made during the CTLT all-staff meeting was to include Musqueam Territory in our email signatures. It is a very small and simple act but holds symbolic value in acknowledging that we are on unceded Musqueam territory. It is part of the history and continuing story of this place we work, We are thankful to the Musqueam people for enabling us to do what we do.
A question came about on how does this affect UBC Branding Guidelines. The email branding guidelines can be found at http://brand.ubc.ca/working-with-our-brand/email/email-signatures/. If we are to follow the specifications, I suggest doing the following:
Internal Version
First Name Last Name, Credentials
Title 1, Title 2 | Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology
The University of British Columbia | Vancouver | Musqueam Territory

There is a third option for signatures with sub-identities but unfortunately, the CTLT wordmark does not work well with the “Place of Mind” logo.
Any thoughts from the team?
