Community engagement is not one-size-fits-all.
Indigenous communities, gatherings, teachings, and protocols are diverse, and respectful participation begins with understanding that experiences and expectations may differ across Nations, communities, and spaces.

Topics will include:
▪️ Respectful participation and community considerations
▪️ Listening and learning through experience

Today, we recognize Moose Hide Campaign, a grassroots Indigenous-led movement committed to ending violence against women and children.

Violence continues to affect many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals, families, and communities across generations.

Workplaces also influence how people experience belonging, safety, leadership, support, and relationships. The environments we create can contribute to spaces where First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people feel valued, heard, and supported.

Today is an opportunity to pause, reflect, learn, and consider how we show up for one another in our workplaces, communities, and relationships.

Attending Indigenous-led cultural gatherings can feel unfamiliar for those who did not grow up in these spaces.

Questions often arise around protocol, participation, and how to engage respectfully while honouring the purpose and significance of the gathering itself.

This upcoming Indigenous Works webinar creates space for conversation, reflection, and learning around respectful participation in Indigenous-led cultural spaces and community events.

You will explore:
▪️ Cultural considerations when attending community gatherings
▪️ Approaching participation with humility and respect
▪️ Distinctions-based perspectives across Indigenous communities
▪️ How ongoing learning can support workplace inclusion journeys
