Update on City's pathway towards a Reconciliation framework to be outlined tonight

 


City Council members will learn more on the progress of staff towards development of a Reconciliation committee and policy planning towards Council's goals that were first outlined in October of 2022.

The four page report compiled by Veronika Stewart the City's Manager of Communications, Engagement and Social Development follows up on discussions from October, when Council adopted a policy framework on reconciliation.

The discussion at that time intended to serve as an initial basis for a future action plan to be developed with recommendations from a committee comprised of indigenous community representatives.

Ms. Stewarts report for tonight offers up some background towards how the initiative would move forward, as well as to explore how the development of a committee could be delivered.

The recommendation on the night for Council is one to proceed towards development of the committee that would delegate one or two council members to take part in the tabletop discussions that would follow.
