A key element of influencing positive change within the company to help advance Reconciliation includes increasing employee awareness and allyship. As part of this effort, we are hosting a fireside chat with Indigenous leaders and an Ally who can inspire our employees to increase their awareness and provide tips on how to become a better ally to Indigenous co-workers and other Indigenous Peoples. An Elder will be invited to share an opening prayer as part of the fireside chat.
