Storytelling with Mark Audu (He/Him). Stories are sacred when it comes to understnading and hearing from those with lived experieence.

System Mapping - Where do we begin to identify the areas in which we can engage with the anti-racism and decolonial efforts on Treaty 7. We'll spend time mapping the opportunities for people to meaningfully engage in this work.

Community Support - Together we'll work towards ideas to support other community members on their jouney.

If you're looking for support for your own community building efforts, be part of our ABCD Learning & Action Team.

We will provide opportunities for those who would like to connect with us online, however please let us know how we can support you.

Some interesting topics/discussions we’ve had that have developed into resources/broader community conversations:
