We would like to thank everyone who attended the Frankly Speaking event on October the 17th. The event sold out and was a great success.
In the spirit of ideas worth advancing, the theme of the October Frankly Speaking was Indigenous Education. In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released a list of 94 Calls to Action that would start the reconciliation process between Indigenous people and the settlers of Canada.
Missed the event? You can see the full video here.
