Pathways to Belonging: Essential Learning for Inclusive Spaces

Each November, Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast celebrate the importance of accessing meaningful work. Canada Career Month works to advance the agenda of improving access to career services and education so that all Canadians are better prepared to develop their careers and transition into the emergent labour market. This year, with funding from the Province of British Columbia Multiculturalism and Anti Racism Grant, the Museum & Archives of Vernon (MAV) in partnership with Artery Consulting, Your Syilx Sisters and Castanet will support local organizations’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) initiatives with a four-part virtual series running in November. Pathways to Belonging: Essential Learning for Inclusive Spaces will cover topics including culture, identity, local history, colonialism, biases, stereotypes, microaggressions, intersectionality, power dynamics and anti-racism. Registration is available at a sliding scale and participants can sign up via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/pathways-to-belonging-essential-learning-for-inclusive-workplaces-tickets-435652216507.
