Indigenous Awareness Training: For Forestry Workers
Inspire a culture of accountability and awareness in your Forestry company, with an understanding of history, culture, and relationships with Indigenous Peoples.
This course will provide you with background information on Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
The duty to consult and accommodate Indigenous communities regarding resource development projects (as outlined in Canadian law and affirmed by court decisions) can sometimes lead to conflicts in the forestry sector.
This training program has been created by Indigenous Corporate Training Inc. and has been licensed to the WFCA—in an effort to promote cultural competence and reconciliation within BC's Forestry Sector.
Through this training, you will learn a number of perspectives and receive hints and tips to build relationships and work effectively on unceded lands.Welcome!
