CALL/ACBD Webinar - Land Acknowledgement: How to Create a Respectful Statement

The Professional Development Committee (PDC) will repeat two of the 2023 annual conference programs as webinars.  The first of these programs will be “Land Acknowledgement: How to Create a Respectful Statement,” presented by Jaimie Kechego. 

Understanding and committing to the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is an important function of all leaders. Learning the history of land acknowledgements is an important step in the path to reconciliation to help deepen our knowledge of other calls to action and can help to move reconciliation forward. Members will learn how to draft a land acknowledgement that is both thoughtful and aligned to their organization's role in the reconciliation process.
