Legacy Spaces are safe, welcoming places where conversations and education about the true history of Canada and our collective journey toward reconciliation are encourages and supported.
Each unique Legacy Space provides an opportunity to bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples together to build connections and understanding while ensuring that Indigenous perspectives are represented and celebrated in the workplace
Legacy Spaces partners received dedicated support, exclusive resources, and training opportunities to empower them in taking reconciliACTION as a team throughout the year, both within their organization and surrounding communities.
