Reconciliaction Workshop

<p>As Truth and Reconciliation Day approaches, South Okanagan Similkameen Immigrant and Community Services has decided to follow up by hosting a free workshop on intercultural competency, Indigenous rights and anti-racism. <br />On Oct. 9, interested people 16 and older are welcome to join “Reconcili-ACTION” at Penticton’s Cleland Community Theatre from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. <br />The workshop is free to attend and will be run by 3 Crows Productions, a group of Indigenous educational storytellers dedicated to increasing awareness of Indigenous culture and lived experience. <br />“The complex word ‘Reconciliation’ can evoke thoughts like “When are Indigenous Peoples going to decide that everything is reconciled and we can move on?'” reads a press release from the organizers. <br />“However, the phrase ‘Reconcili-ACTION’ directs the narrative to a more thoughtful approach of ‘What can I personally do to help Indigenous Peoples feel that one day reconciliation can be a reality?’”</p>
