The Allyship Journey with Indigenous Peoples: First Steps & Considerations

Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council

What does it mean to be an ally of Indigenous peoples? Come and explore this question with us.

Thank you for your interest in The Allyship Journey with Indigenous Peoples: First Steps & Considerations webinar that is being held on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. The registration has now ended. Please check out the WRCPC website www.preventingcrime.ca for other upcoming events.

Being an Indigenous Ally is a complicated concept. It requires background knowledge of terms and names; local Indigenous histories and current realities; as well as an understanding of the word 'ally.' Please join Allyship Facilitators, Nicole Robinson and Ken Whytock as they explore all aspects of allyship in an engaging and thoughtful way with personal examples and prompts for participants to consider for their own lives.
