Reconciliation Regina and the Regina Public Library present the Decolonize YQR: The Journey Through Truth & Reconciliation, a monthly workshop series focused on exploring a deeper shared understanding of truth and reconciliation in our community.
Facilitators will take a broader look at the system of colonization and the socio-economic impacts of systemic racism and discrimination that are experienced by Indigenous peoples today and provide participants with actionable steps to begin their journey towards decolonization. The workshops are facilitated by Indigenous community leaders that are dedicated to supporting a safe, diverse, and inclusive environment that educates, energizes and inspires creativity, agency and transformation.
