ReconciliACTION is back, focusing on strengthening and building radical relationalities towards collaborative, equitable and just futures we can all see ourselves in.
ReconciliACTION started as an educational initiative designed to bring grassroots, community organizations, academics and community members together to hear about the work being done towards Reconciliation in the Forest City and beyond, and collectively dream about what ReconciliACTION looks like in your own organization, school and around the dinner table.
Throughout the day, join our Conversation Cafes—spaces designed to develop meaningful relationships and foster community solidarity. Come learn about the unique aspects of Indigenous homelessness in Canada, and connect over the shared realities of newcomer, immigrant, and Indigenous community members in London. Open to everyone.
