We had the privilege on June 22, 2021 to learn about the historical and current plight of Canada's Indigenous peoples. There are steps we can all take to help mend the wounds caused by prejudice against the original inhabitants of this land. Let us all do our part!
The session is available to view and share. Please take the time to learn: watch the presentation and peruse the additional resources listed below.
