The Community Housing Transformation Centre’s staff began 2022 with a renewed zeal to act on our organization’s commitment to Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
In our January newsletter, we invited sector partners to join us in learning about First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples and communities in Canada through an online Indigenous cultural awareness course.
The training is more than a simple resolution: it is an opportunity to provide a meaningful contribution to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call to action number 92.
Jennifer David, senior consultant at NVision adds, “The first step of reconciliation is awareness. The Path is about topics that we should have learned in high school but never did.”
In March the Centre’s staff convened to exchange new learnings and discuss on how to move forward. You can read all about it here.
Are you interested in taking a free online Indigenous cultural awareness course?
Our January call to action has spurred hundreds of applications: while many individuals and organizations have received free access to the training, the good news is that we still have spots available.
If you’re a community housing provider, housing co-operative or a community-led organization that works with tenants, we want to hear from you! Send us an email at Path@centre.support. Please specify how many employees or volunteers will take the course.
Priority will be given to small-to-medium organizations, but larger organizations are encouraged to communicate their interest, and we will evaluate need and capacity in relation to available space.
