Indigenous Reconciliation

• As a government employee, I took part in an all-day TRC learning session at Mungo Martin House put on by Reconciliation Canada

• As a board director, I helped raise and implement Indigenous territorial acknowledgements at community association and society meetings.

Most recent example in my Community Resume section: AmalgamationYes Board Meeting youtube video.
 

• As a VCPAC executive, I asked SD61 board staff to review their Territorial Acknowledgement policies and any plans for changes so that updates might be streamlined into fewer iterations (re: Xwsepsum/Kosapsum, W̱SÁNEĆ) to mitigate undesirable confusion and blowback during these sensitive times in public opinion;
  I made this motion amidst conversations about the electoral area (wards) proposal, where I supported the creation of the two First Nation wards whilst advocating against the others in favour of maintaining a larger plurality-at-large representation system.

• I re-examined my own familial lore and oral history regarding our Indigenous ancestry and relationships during Contact, against more recent and nuanced understandings regarding colonial life, settler society and mixed-heritage family backgrounds.
