Truth and Reconciliation Webinar

It is critical to understand how to facilitate and engage in meaningful conversations about Truth and Reconciliation within the classroom setting in order to respond to the Calls to Action. Nelson has recognized this need by designing a K-12 webinar series. Learn about practical strategies you can take towards building a reconciliation relationship in your school from award-winning leading Indigenous educator, Dr. Pamela Rose Toulouse, a proud Anishinabek woman originally from the Sagamok First Nation.

Register for this webinar series and join other K-12 educators along this important journey on Wednesday, September 25 beginning at 6:30 pm EST.
