Inclusive Parenting: The Journey of Truth and Reconciliation

January 10, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Supporting parents in creating an open dialogue with their children about the history of Indigenous Peoples, as well as, reconciliation.

As parents we all want to support our children as they grow to be kind and empathetic, but how do we teach them to be inclusive and accepting of others. It can be difficult to know where to start and who to approach with questions when we are not sure how they will be received.

Spruce Grove FCSS, Spruce Grove Public Library and Alberta Parenting for the Future invite you to join local Knowledge Keeper Barbara Scott for an opportunity to learn about Indigenous Ways, as well as, ask questions in a safe environment.

Topics will include:

  • Indigenous History and the impact of colonialism on Indigenous Peoples
  • Residential schools
  • Reconciliation – what it is, why it is important, and what it can look like in our everyday lives
  • Books/resources to support our children
  • Opportunity for questions
  • How we can navigate these conversations in the home

Childcare is available for children 2 – 12 years old.
