Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, our staff came together for a meaningful workshop focused on learning, reflection, and deepening our understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and teachings. 🧡
Through thoughtful discussions and shared learning, our staff explored several important takeaways:
🧡 Integrating reconciliation into our daily work: How can we continue learning and taking meaningful action beyond September 30?
🧡 Reflecting on land acknowledgements: What does a land acknowledgement mean to us personally, and how does our relationship with the land shape our words and actions?
🧡 Making a personal commitment: What is one meaningful step we can take toward reconciliation in our own lives, workplaces, and communities?
🧡 Understanding Indigenous symbols and teachings: Learning about the history and significance of Indigenous symbols, including dream catchers, and the importance of approaching these teachings with respect and understanding.
Our session also included watching Urban Indigenous: Proud & Full Circle, exploring additional educational resources, and sharing Three Sisters soup as part of the experience.
Truth and reconciliation is not a one-day commitment. It calls for ongoing learning, honest reflection, meaningful relationships, and action throughout the year.
As we reflect on today, we encourage our community to continue learning, seek out Indigenous voices and perspectives, and consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation in our everyday lives.
