Aboriginal Cultural Awareness

Webinar Series
By Gitpo Consultants

Success Through Engagement and Respect

These webinars are designed to advance the membership’s level of understanding of the social, cultural, and business landscape in play in the Canadian economy. Participants will be exposed to information designed to enhance their appreciation for the current and evolving landscape in conducting their business on the unceded, un-surrendered traditional lands of the Mi’gmaq, Wolastoqey and Passamaquoddy People.

A series of eight webinars will be presented in two sessions June 3-June 17 and September 9- October 7 in a Lunch & Learn format between 12:00-1:30 pm. The webinars will be facilitated by Tom Mann of GITPO Consultants.
