Council approves quest for grant funding for Humility Training Funding

Council members voted on Monday in favour of the city pursuing funding from UBCM towards Cultural Humility Training for emergency support personnel in the community.

The request coming as part of a report to Council from Communications Manager Veronica Stewart.

In her report Ms. Stewart notes of the recently pass Policy Framework for Reconciliation that provides direction to pursue opportunities for training that improves staff understanding of both Indigenous culture and how to support Indigenous peoples. 

How the funding would be put to use if the City is successful in their quest for funding is explained in the report below:



Council members  approved the request to seek out the funding with no discussion or comment towards the topic.

Some background on the City's plan towards Reconciliation can be reviewed from our notes of the October 5th Council session when it was adopted.
