Kind Words

“As part of our recognition and learning for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, our team had the privilege of hearing from Annie. The session was thoughtfully designed to be approachable for everyone, regardless of their experience or how their work intersects with Indigenous communities. Annie encouraged us to reflect deeply on our role in economic Reconciliation—not as a passive responsibility, but as an opportunity to engage positively and proactively. Her insights challenged us to consider how our actions, decisions, and relationships can contribute to meaningful change. We’re grateful for the space she created for learning, reflection and growth.”
