- The Calls to Action are not a checklist, but even if they were, not many have been crossed off since 2015. As indicated in the title of the panel, we can take direct strides both individually and structurally, towards reparations, healing and meaningful change beyond the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Join us for a powerful conversation on what it means to truly reconcile, build good relations, and make space for collective healing, reclamation and reparations.
Other Indigenous-focused workshops or training modules that support the spirit of Indigenous and decolonial Learning and Unlearning that are not listed will be considered for this category requirement. Students who would like to claim other engagements or training that are not listed must provide additional documentation and a completed claims request form for approval.
