The webinar will provide an overview of the PIPSC Know History Report and the findings of PIPSC’s Reconciliation Readiness Assessment.
What is the Know History Report?
PIPSC needed to deepen our understanding of our history in relation to Indigenous Peoples and communities to work towards meaningful reconciliation.
We partnered with Know History, Canada’s leading historical review firm, to produce a report on PIPSC members’ involvement in Canada’s Colonial Systems.
Archival research, a literature review, and extensive data showed that PIPSC members helped sustain Canada’s colonial systems.
What is the Reconciliation Readiness Assessment?
PIPSC worked with NVision to review our readiness to take on the next phase of reconciliation efforts and to understand how our membership wants to see reconciliation take shape. The assessment included staff surveys, one-on-one/focus group engagement sessions, and research.
Last year marked a decade since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its report and 94 Calls to Action. These calls to action primarily address how governments in Canada must invest in reconciliation. Everyone, including Canada’s unions, has a role to play.
We look forward to the discussion with you.
