Kicking off #Cannexus23 with a bang 💥
We’re excited to join 1,000+ workforce development leaders in Ottawa. Blueprinters will be participating in the three-day event exploring our evaluation work with innovative career development programs and responsive career pathways!
As an organization that works on projects with Indigenous Peoples, we also acknowledge the context of reconciliation in the larger research and #SocialPolicy ecosystem—a space that's historically left out, dismissed & oppressed Indigenous communities.
That’s why we are closing our office in recognition of this holiday. We urge you to find an opportunity to participate in #NDTR2022 by learning and unlearning what Indigenous sovereignty looks like. Here are our top resources for researchers & policy makers 📋 👇
Register now for @Yellowhead_ upcoming panel discussion on A Calls to Action Conversation on Truth and Reconciliation featuring @cblackst @ArchaeoMapper @sjfranks and more!
🗓️ Sept 29 | 1:00pm-3:30pm
