Indigenous Speaker Series
It's Time to Talk
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is proud to present the Indigenous Speaker Series. This series is part of ongoing opportunities to raise awareness of Indigenous history and contemporary issues, and a way to come together to advance reconciliation in the region.
The speakers featured in the series are powerful examples of strength and overcoming adversity. The goal is to shift mindsets by informing people about issues, such as intergenerational trauma, the legacy of residential schools, and how these issues impact Indigenous people today.
