Sheridan launches Reconciliation Series ahead of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Ahead of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, Sheridan is proud to launch a new Reconciliation Series developed and hosted by Sheridan’s Office of Indigenous Engagement and Education.

The Reconciliation Series has been created to support and guide everyone on their journey toward reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

The series features esteemed individuals who are leading the way in fostering meaningful engagement and allyship with Indigenous communities. Open to both internal and external participants, it offers an opportunity to deepen understanding of reconciliation.

Indigenous entrepreneur, online marketer and startup business training coach Mallory Rose will kick off the series in a virtual conversation taking place on Wednesday, September 25. During the session, hosted by Audrey Rochette, AVP, Indigenous Engagement and Education External, and Lisa Zangerl, member of Sheridan's Indigenous Education Council, Rose will speak about how to engage with acts of reconciliation and begin your journey.

The Reconciliation Series is one of the first public-facing initiatives to be launched by Sheridan’s Office of Indigenous Engagement and Education, led by Amy Reader, AVP, Indigenous Engagement and Education Internal, and Rochette.

The pair joined Sheridan in July and is working jointly to enable the Sheridan community to fully live out its Indigenous Engagement and Education Plan, build deeper relationships with Indigenous communities, and advance educational opportunities.

“Since joining Sheridan two months ago, we have set some very ambitious goals and aspirations to realize the college’s vision to focus on the priority areas of leadership, land, reciprocity and relationships,” stated Reader and Rochette. “We are excited to introduce this Reconciliation Series to share Indigenous knowledge with others, but also to invite community members to learn from and with us. We look forward to introducing more initiatives in the months ahead.”

The second edition of Sheridan’s Reconciliation Series will take place in November, featuring Ashinaabe mother, entrepreneur and founder and CEO of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics, Jenn Harper.
