First Nations Awareness Training with Kathleen Padulo

Here's a little update on some recent activities! We had a successful First Nations Awareness training workshop with Kathleen Padulo and our Environment & Diversity Project interns yesterday. Kathleen provided a great overview of First Nations history, geography and culture in Ontario, the dynamics of First Nations and the environmental movement, as well as tips and resources for relationship-building and collaboration.
