4 Seasons of Reconciliation
Registration for this module closes on May 9 and onboarding takes place within a one-to-two-week period - Register now
This online module is designed directly in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action specifically to Call to Action #62. This focuses on the need for institutions like Humber to implement curriculum and resources to help people learn about the historical and current context of Indigenous peoples. Through this learning, the module will promote a revitalized relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Canadians. This is a 3-hour asynchronous course offered through First Nations University of Canada.
