"I found the even informative, humbling, and tragic at the same time. Hearing from survivors and everyone impacted by the news of the 215 was devastating, but a necessary part of learning about Canada's recent past/history. I am now committed to educating myself further on Indigenous issues - much of which was never taught in my education." – Janienne Foenander, Clinical Administrative Coordinator, Regent Park Community Health Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“The program was very impactful. It increased my understanding of the issues through the stories that were shared by the speakers and also of the work being done. I definitely liked the mix of speakers and the eloquence of their words and the impact of their actions. Also, it was well organized in the time allotted to each speaker and the transitions between them.” – Cynthia Coulos, Director, Organizational Development, Dexterra Group, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

“The program highlighted the importance and relevance of Indigenous communities' contribution to sustainable development. It helped to recognize the rights of Indigenous communities to sovereignty and the Importance of nature, ecosystem & environment. Not enough time!” – Henry Mwandemere, Director, Baobab Consulting, New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

"I had a very pleasant experience participating in this program. It was engaging the entire time. This was the best online event I have attended since the start of the pandemic. I loved that there were speakers there from across the country, PEI to BC. I also loved the diversity of speakers, and their messages, with having people of all ages from Elders to youth, the sharing of personal stories and impacts whether someone was a residential school survivor, or has been impacted intergenerationally." – Brittney Emslie, Operations Manager, Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre, , Ontario, Canada
