Friday, November 15th
Hosted by Keenan Bird
As the world increasingly acknowledges the importance of reconciliation with Indigenous communities, young people are emerging as vital voices in these conversations. Their perspectives bring a fresh sense of urgency, empathy, and commitment to understanding and healing past injustices. For many youth, Indigenous reconciliation is not merely an abstract concept but a call to action to address systemic inequalities and build genuine partnerships rooted in respect and mutual learning.
This event “Discussion on Indigenous Reconciliation”, I want to know how young people feel about Indigenous Reconciliation. Through education, open dialogue, and advocacy, young people are redefining what reconciliation means for future generations, creating a foundation for an inclusive and equitable society that honours Indigenous rights, culture, and wisdom.
Join me for an evening of food, conversation, and community-building as we dive into a few questions, to further Indigenous Reconciliation. This will be a casual, open discussion where youth from diverse backgrounds can share their perspectives. These can have conversation about these issues or simply curious, no prior knowledge or experience is require
Come to share, and have fun! Let’s amplify youth voices.
The first 15 people to sign up by November 12th will receive $20 DoorDash credit to be used the day of the event.
