In support of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th, Inclusivity is offering our clients and partners the opportunity to host a webinar for their teams on ‘Embracing the Truth for Meaningful Reconciliation’. We offer these webinars as part of our commitment at Inclusivity to support marginalized groups, and to support our clients with their continued EDI education and awareness efforts. For organizations, it is a great way to engage your team in meaningful and timely learning and demonstrate your continued commitment to this work.
Session Description:
With the release of the In Plain Sight report and the discovery of the first 215 unmarked graves on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, Canadians have started listening to the Indigenous voices that had been silenced for so long. While this is prompting many to want to act in reconciliation, collectively, a key message from many of these voices is that we must first fully engage with “truth” in order to make reconciliation possible and meaningful.
This session delivered in partnership with Len Pierre Consulting, will explore Truth and Reconciliation by:
- Providing context to how we’ve arrived where we are today
- Exploring how Canadian socialization and media has shaped the unconscious bias many have towards Indigenous Peoples;
- And providing some of the missing historical context that anyone hoping for reconciliation needs to know.
We believe that reconciliation is only possible if we first whole-heartedly engage in the witnessing of and understanding of “truth”. So, join us for this webinar which aims to be the launch pad for your journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.
Note – there will be an opportunity for the host organization to provide opening and closing remarks.
