Join the Indigenous Relationship Building Circle |
|
The objective of this Circle is to give a voice to Indigenous residents and Indigenous communities in the City of Pickering and to honour the contributions, history and cultures of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples. Stakeholders and residents are invited to join this circle who, under the umbrella of the Cultural Advisory Committee of the City of Pickering, will advise on building meaningful relationships with the Indigenous communities by: establishing mutually beneficial dialogue with Indigenous stakeholders, associations, non-profit and advocacy groups; reviewing and implementing the existing Indigenous Relationship Building plan of action; developing terms of use for Pickering’s Land Acknowledgement Statement; providing guidance on initiatives related to Indigenous cultures working within the parameters of the Cultural Plan and providing updates to the CAC. The Cultural Advisory Committee envisions this Indigenous Relationship Building Circle as a first step towards giving Indigenous communities the recognition they deserve. We are seeking resident or stakeholder members who want to make a difference and have relevant experience, interest or expertise; which may include: Members of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Communities (such as Indigenous Elders, Teachers, Education Councilors, Knowledge Keepers and other ethical leaders); Professionals who work in this area; Persons connected with the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation and Williams Treaty Signatories. We invite you to send your expression of interest by email to communityservices@pickering.ca. Circle members will be selected by the Cultural Advisory Committee representatives leading the work, and advised in the first week of March. Full details are available online at pickering.ca/culture. |
