About this Event
Note: This webcast will also be available in French..........
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) invites you to join us for this national learning webcast Wednesday, October 7th at 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. CST (11:00 a.m. EST, 8:00 a.m. PT)
Speakers will share perspectives on future actions to build trust (to de-colonize programs, policies, and services in non-Indigenous spaces), strengthen our relationships and partnerships that are necessary to advance Reconciliation and support economic prosperity, and lead to better health outcomes for Indigenous Peoples.
The overall objective of the learning webcast is to:
• Increase cultural awareness, knowledge and understanding of the ongoing tragic legacy of Residential Schools, and the TRC’s Calls to Action – a roadmap set out for Canada by the TRC to achieve Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
• Learn how to practice allyship, with practical, tangible examples of what you can do, to address the TRC’s Calls to Action, including how to help overcome barriers including racism, for Indigenous Peoples.
• Gain knowledge of what future actions we can take both in our personal and professional lives to build trust (to de-colonize our programs, policies, and services), strengthen our relationships and partnerships that are necessary to advance Reconciliation and support economic prosperity, and lead to better health outcomes for Indigenous Peoples.
