WEBINAR | Loving Lessons from our Equity, Reconciliation and Belonging Journey

This session is a continuation of our Seeds of Transformation webinar series. In Part 1, we shared the origins of Tamarack’s equity, reconciliation, and belonging framework. In this follow-up, watch an open and honest conversation with Tamarack staff, board members, and a First Nations advisor who supported this transformative journey—what we’ve called our pérégrination. 

  We reflect on key decisions and lessons, including: 

  • Why Tamarack staff needed to lead and carry forward the foundational work initiated by Power of Discourse Consulting.  

  • What non-financial resources were required to carry out this work in a good way? 

  • How we’ve integrated the Seeds of Transformation Action Plan into Tamarack’s annual operations—including tensions and breakthroughs. 

  • What the publication of the framework means in a time when DEI is being questioned and deprioritized across sectors. 

  • What’s next: how we embed this work into community pathways, decision-making, and support for closing equity gaps identified by communities themselves. 

 

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of what it truly takes to conduct an internal equity audit, how to engage your ecosystem in the work, and the very human lessons learned along the way.

  • Danya Pastuszek, President and CEO, The Tamarack Institute

  • Kahienes Sky, First Nations Advisor from Kahnawà:ke
