Taking time to learn the truth is an important part of moving towards reconciliation. We are honoured to have Elder Dr. Elmer Ghostkeeper, respected Métis Elder, scholar, author, entrepreneur, and community leader as our keynote speaker. He will lead us through a teaching time, after which Primary Care Alberta’s Indigenous Education Team will lead a Reflection Circle exercise, encouraging us to think about how we can action reconciliation not only in September, but every day of the year.
