Following the inaugural Truth & Reconciliation Day in September 2021, many of us identified the opportunities for learning and developing a greater understanding of how we, as fundraising professionals, contribute to delivering on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 94 Calls to Action.
AFP Central Ontario invites all its members to a safe, welcoming space for learning and open dialogue as we continue to move Truth & Reconciliation forward.
AFP Central Ontario invites you to connect, learn, and expand your journey of knowledge. Facilitated by Rebbeca Truax, MBA, CFRE, Associate Vice-President & Campaign Director, External Relations, Lakehead University, a 25+ year fundraising executive works through a real-time workplace scenario of leading philanthropic initiatives impacting indigenous communities.
This virtual session will be a roundtable format, encouraging dialogue from all attendees as we learn together.

- Gain an understanding of how Lakehead University remains committed to Truth and
Reconciliation in Canada and stands in solidarity with Indigenous peoples everywhere.
- Discuss and identify your role as a fundraising professional and your journey in being an ally in
indigenous initiatives.
