Call to Action # 57: Training for Public Servants (57)

Moving Forward Together Through Reconciliation

May 29, 2018

Joint Economic Development Initiative (JEDI) – is a leading Indigenous organization dedicated to supporting Indigenous participation in New Brunswick’s economy who released its Report on Reconciliation, a compilation of the findings from JEDI’s December 2017 plenary entitled: “Moving Forward Together Through Reconciliation”. The plenary sought to answer the question “How do we apply the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action in New Brunswick’s public and private sectors?” Continuous education, at all levels, is key to building a shared understanding of the history of Indigenous peoples in New Brunswick was the main point that all of the participants agreed upon.  This shared understanding will enable all sectors to work with First Nation communities to build welcoming workplaces, implement Indigenous hiring policies, and build the capacity of the Indigenous workforce.
