The Third and Final Round of Applicant Support Check-ins are happening now!
We are currently completing our third and final round of Applicant Support Check-ins. This time we will be emailing Team Leads to check in on your progress in 2023 and share updates on the Solutions Showcase and other relevant resources. Please keep an eye on your inbox while we email you the first week of July. If we are unable to reach you, we will try again later in the following weeks.

My career has centred on supporting the development of Indigenous communities in a variety of fields, though my focus has been on working with communities to address violence and the impacts of hetero-patriarchy and settler-colonialism on communities, community development, education, health, and governance/leadership. I have dedicated my time to supporting both community-based and global approaches to Indigenous people’s social, political, legal, and economic equity and equality, and am honoured to have had a community role in working directly with families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and survivors of violence (locally and nationally). Though I am working to develop my skills as a connoisseur of tea, bannock, and dry meat, I still have much to learn and my many teachers continue to support me in learning about my role(s) and responsibilities in passing on culture, tradition, and language.
