"The material was applicable to any job and was delivered expertly. The detailed and extensive knowledge the trainer had was presented in a way that anyone could understand." A.M.
Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation
"This training led me to a total paradigm shift in how I think about interacting with indigenous groups both on a personal level and as a government representative. I have a much more thorough understanding of the context and perception of Canadian government that indigenous groups will be bringing to the table and feel much more prepared to navigate introductions and conversations in nation to nation discussions in a positive, respectful and productive manner. Invaluable training for anyone working with indigenous nations or persons." S.L.
Environment and Climate Change Canada
"This course would be beneficial for all Canadians not just those working directly with Indigenous Peoples. It was shocking to learn about so much of our history that I was never taught in school. Our history, or should I say lack of knowledge about it, affects our working relationships and the biases that exist in society today. I have already shared the value of this course with many people." S.
Invasive Species Council of BC
"The session was well laid out to present history and background, setting a backdrop for current issues and challenges. The facilitators were well spoken, thoughtful and very approachable, sharing great knowledge and experience. The training was excellent." M.
