Fireside Chat: Truth and Reconciliation — where to start?

About this episode

This episode invites listeners to explore the concepts of Truth and Reconciliation through various perspectives and resources.

In our first fireside-chat episode, we hear from multiple voices to unpack different aspects of Truth and Reconciliation. The idea here is to invite curiosity, reflection, and discussion. We’ve heard from many folks over the years that they’d like to learn more but aren’t quite sure where to start. We hope that this episode serves as an invitation to get started, no matter what your starting point is.
