WEBCAST: Research for Reconciliation
IPAC’s reconciliation case series
How many times do Canadians find themselves in uncomfortable discussions about truth and reconciliation, about how little we understand our country’s colonial history and its continuing impact for building new relations with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. While governments at all levels take positive new steps to change their relations, new issues emerge almost daily, demonstrating just how much hard work remains.
The Research for Reconciliation Webinar launches IPAC’s new reconciliation case series with Andrew Graham, Editor, IPAC Case Study Program, together with representatives from IPAC’s first two case studies:
Saskatchewan’s Following Their Voices Initiative, and
Strategic collaboration on the Walleye commercial fishery on Lake Nipissing.
The webinar introduces reconciliation lessons learned by Indigenous and government public servants in building new relationships and offers insight into what’s working and what’s not.
Agenda:
Importance of research and case studies in sharing knowledge and lessons learned among public servants working towards reconciliation
Two cases:
Improving Indigenous Student Outcomes in Saskatchewan
Managing a strategic resource - the Walleye commercial fishery on Lake Nipissing
Q&As
Indigenous governance is an IPAC long-term strategic priority. IPAC was very proud of the incredible efforts made at events, conferences and learning exchanges by its members and chapters during 2017. The Final Report on IPAC’s National Year of Dialogue threads together the common themes for taking action we heard throughout 2017 – planning, education and engagement – to guide governments, public sector institutions and public service employees in building new relationships with Indigenous governments and peoples. Events in 2019 making news at home and abroad demonstrated how deeply relevant reconciliation is to Canada’s future.
