REBUILD: Systems Leadership & Transformation

Let us Acknowledge

We would like to acknowledge the history of the traditional territory and honour the longstanding relationships of the three local First Nations of this land and place in Southwestern Ontario. The Attawandaran (Neutral) peoples once settled this region alongside the Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples, and used this land as their traditional hunting grounds. The three longstanding Indigenous groups of this geographical region are: The Anishinaabeg, The Haudenosaunee and the Lunaapeewak Peoples.

We would also like to recognise the three First Nations communities neighbouring the City of London: Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Oneida Nation of the Thames and Munsee-Delaware Nation.

Pillar Nonprofit Network recognizes the inequities connected to colonization and commit to working towards creating a just, inclusive and vibrant community for all.

Today’s Guiding Questions

How do we activate this moment for transformational shifts, not transactional or even worse go back to the ways things were?
How do we move from conversation to action holding an equity and inclusion lens?
How do we sustain system changes and continue to impact policy for true systems transformation?
How do we collectively hold grief and proceed at the speed of healing during this abrupt disruption?

I was taught to see racism only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group
