About this event
The Victoria Reconciliation Dialogues series returns IN PERSON with three new conversations in 2022 that enable the community to participate in reconciliation on Lekwungen territory.
Guided by members of the City Family and special guests, the conversations seek to build the community’s knowledge and understanding of reconciliation -- what it is, why it is needed and why community participation in reconciliation is important.
PRE-REGISTER FOR DIALOGUE 7:
Pre-register to participate in Victoria Reconciliation Dialogue 7 - Nétsamaát: Going Forward Together on Monday, September 12 from 6 - 8:30 p.m. at the Victoria Conference Centre.
Working with the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, in 2017 City Council established the City Family to take a Lekwungen-led approach to reconciliation. In this Dialogue, members of the City Family and special guests will present actions for the City and the community to carry on the work of reconciliation for decades to come. Participants will be asked to make a reconciliation commitment of their own.
Key themes will be: Acknowledging the Lands and Waters; Lekwungen Language; Indigenization and Decolonization; Relationship and Leadership Agreements; Lekwungen Teachings; and City Council Practices.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
