4 Seasons of Reconciliation
Understanding the truth of Canada’s history and the resulting intergenerational trauma and systemic barriers in today’s world is the first step to enacting and embedding reconciliation.
Developed by Reconciliation Education and offered in partnership with RRC Polytech and First Nations University of Canada, the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation course supports organizations and individuals on their journeys towards reconciliation, healing our communities, embedding the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, and fostering relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
