January 2025 SDS Registration Form

Dear Participant,

In addition to serving remote, northern Indigenous communities with humanitarian aid, our organization further commits to providing Settlers with reconciliatory opportunities to engage in.

This discussion series was created in response to:

the momentum of Settler Canadians seeking a platform by which to begin their individual journey of reconciliation and engage in meaningful dialogue
the Truth and Reconciliation's 94 Calls to Action, specifically #54, and #s 62-65

Each week an engaging, interactive digital email containing information of the next week's topic will be emailed to you. Additionally, a Zoom link to participate online according to the date and time you chose will also be emailed. This homework requires at least 1 hour of your attention to fully participate and learn from during your four week commitment.

It is our honour and privilege to host and facilitate this platform for you.

This discussion series is open to non-Indigenous and Indigenous people across Canada. We will meet on Tuesday evenings starting January 7th, 2025 at 7pm EST.

Tuesday, January 7th (Privilege)

Tuesday, January 14th (Land)

Tuesday, January 21st (Residential School)
