RMA and AUMA are cohosting workshops to provide municipal officials with a greater understanding on how to support reconciliation in their communities
Through our commitment to reconciliation, RMA and the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) are partnering to host four virtual workshops that will explore how past government policies have defined today’s relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The workshop will provide municipal leaders with a deeper understanding of:
- Canada’s history of government policies and the effect on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples
- The learnings from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the 94 Calls to Action
- Indigenous intersectionality and guidance on terminology
- Common myths and how unconscious bias continues to contribute to misconceptions, prejudices, and stereotyping of Indigenous peoples
- Practical steps for municipal governments to advance reconciliation and create inclusive workspaces
This workshop is designed for municipal elected officials and senior municipal administrators who would like to gain a further understanding of how government polices have impacted Indigenous peoples and how to support reconciliation in their communities. The workshop will be held on four dates:
- August 18, 2021 from 1:30 to 4:00 pm
- August 23, 2021 from 1:30 to 4:00 pm
- September 13, 2021 from 1:30 to 4:00 pm
- September 27, 2021 from 1:30 to 4:00 pm
Registration is limited to 25 people per workshop and the cost to register is $25.00. For questions about this session, please email advocacy@auma.ca.
