ABOUT THIS EVENT

Indigenous knowledge wisdom based seven step strategy for land restoration

In this workshop participants will learn a practical seven step strategy for land restoration, based on Indigenous knowledge wisdom from five Indigenous civilizations across Turtle Island. Upon completion of this workshop participants will have a baseline awareness to immediately implement land restoration strategies on varying scales and in varying habitat. Whether living in an apartment or on several acres of land these seven strategies will support both individuals and communities in moving closer to food sovereignty, land sustainability, and a restored ecosystem health.

Expectations for Behaviour

Diversity Circles, as part of the BCIT Respect, Diversity, and Inclusion (RDI) Office, has outlined the Expectations for Behaviour for our events and initiatives.

Diversity Circles has always benefitted from the empathy, sincerity, and respectful curiosity of our community, and this has helped create events and initiatives where we hold productive and authentic discussions, advancing our knowledge and utilization of equity, diversity, and inclusion principles.

As our events and initiatives continue to reach out to diverse audiences which include BCIT employees, students, and partners (BCIT Student Association, BCIT Alumni Association, and industry guests), and as we have moved towards presenting events both in person and via teleconferencing platforms, we realize that having a set of expectations for behaviour will help maintain the accountable, respectful spaces our community has come to expect from Diversity Circles events and initiatives.

Please take the time to review our Expectations for Behaviour prior to your upcoming participation
