Read MoreAs a newcomer to Canada, I have been trying to educate myself on the history of this land I now call home. There are so many resources out there but it is hard to know where to begin. As an educator I appreciated how this course is laid out. It makes no assumptions of previous knowledge, and helps build blocks of knowledge, one at a time. The additional resources, in varying formats, have been carefully selected to add depth to one's understanding.

Read MoreI’ve participated in several Truth and Reconciliation workshops before, but this one stood out to me because of the focus on how to apply the lessons in the business world. Having a resource of this nature that is business-focused is valuable for both an organization and its employees to create peaceable and productive environments. I appreciated the thorough exploration of the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada and the development of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Diving deeper into Call to Action #92 was especially enlightening. Understanding not just the need for action, but also the positive impact we can all have in our workplaces and society was of value for me, on a personal level as well. The reflective questions were a great addition. They are encouraging for the readers to connect personally with the material and consider how to contribute to meaningful change. I strongly feel that all Canadians should have the opportunity to learn about the Indigenous peoples past and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It’s through the awareness that understanding can develop, and then action and positive change can follow. This change, in our personal lives and in our workplaces, are essential to a positive, productive and harmonious future.

We plan to take this information and use the action steps to form a strategic plan and align the work we do with specific calls.

“Each lesson was short and to the point. Within the lesson there were plenty of resources for additional information. I appreciated the variety of formats the material was presented in. But if I had to pick one thing I'd say that the way the course was scaffolded, to build on one's knowledge was done in a masterful way.”
“It provides a solid introduction to Truth and Reconciliation that is important to all workplaces. I am recommending it as part of our onboarding process. ”
“Thank you for this wonderful course! Edified Projects brings together learning in a way that makes it engaging and relevant for the learner. The multimedia and supporting documentation they provide enhance the experience and support further learning. This course is a great introduction to Truth and Reconciliation and can be utilized by all levels of staff to help them to consider ways to advance reconciliation both professionally and personally. ”
“There is so much wonderful content here, I think anyone can benefit from going through it. I have gone through some TRC workshops before, and every time the material is covered it still affects me the same way. It is hard to consume but I feel necessary for all Canadians to learn. I think Indigenous peoples could advance more easily if all people learned this material. ”
“I was hoping to be able to align our work with the TRC Calls and this helps me to be able to talk about #92. I also think the course is accessible (in terms of content and also the tech and cost), which is helpful for us with relatively small budgets but can send many staff through it.”
“I enjoyed it, I think it's excellent value, and because a number of us at our org are doing it, I am hoping it will have more legs. Our goal is for staff to be able to say which TRC calls are related to the work they do at our organization. I feel more clear re: 92 and we will continue that learning, thank you!”
