Indigenous Ways of Knowing Training (High Park)
This training is mandatory before a new volunteer's first shift.
Returning volunteers: This training will differ from previous years. We want to ensure all volunteers understand how we discuss our relations, protocols for interacting with Indigenous Elders and community members, and why our organization is Indigenous-led. This will happen during the first hour so you don't need to attend the full two hours unless you desire to do so.
We are meeting in front of Grenadier Cafe. If you can't find us, please call the Hotline at 647-491-4057.
This training will be outdoors. Please dress for the weather!
If the weather isn't ideal for outdoor activities, the training will move online.
