A powerful evening of storytelling and action, inspiring our shared journey toward reconciliation.
Through compelling storytelling and practical insights, Niigaan Sinclair will challenge us to see reconciliation not as a distant idea, but as a personal and collective responsibility. This event will bring together community leaders, businesses, and residents to foster meaningful dialogue and shared understanding, while raising support for Futureworx’s mission of building skilled, inclusive, and resilient communities across Nova Scotia.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Reconciliation is not a destination - it’s a shared journey that begins with each of us. It calls us to create space for truth, amplify Indigenous voices, and commit to building a more respectful and inclusive future.
Together with Millbrook First Nation, we invite you to join us for this powerful event featuring Niigaan Sinclair, one of Canada’s most engaging Indigenous leaders and storytellers. Through his compelling voice, he weaves together history, lived experience, and hope for the future.
Participants will leave with practical tools and fresh perspectives to move beyond awareness into meaningful action - in their own lives, workplaces, and communities.
This event offers a meaningful opportunity to listen, learn, and take action alongside one of Canada’s most inspiring Indigenous voices.
