We were very grateful when Ken agreed to participate in a fireside chat that our organization hosted for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Ken’s insights were so impactful. His sharing of personal experiences and of interviewing Residential School survivors were profound and helped build our team’s empathy.
​
Ken’s perspectives on empowering our staff as champions in fostering inclusion and advancing opportunities for Indigenous Peoples within our organization was insightful and also served as a stark reminder of the work ahead. We’re grateful for his guidance and look forward to reflecting his lessons into the way we do business.
