INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CITATION

The Indigenous Community Engagement (ICE) citation program provides a strong foundation of knowledge about Indigenous worldviews, history and laws. It is aimed at those who work in business, government, community development and/or resource development

PROGRAM DETAILS

The ICE citation was developed in ceremony with the guidance of Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, local communities, and industry leaders. Courses incorporate foundational Indigenous perspectives and are designed to stimulate educational conversations in safe spaces between Indigenous peoples and the public. All core courses and electives that include Indigenous knowledge are delivered by YTC. During core (required) courses, learners will participate in activities that will directly impact their understanding of worldviews of Indigenous peoples. The courses offered in this program are non-credit and the program is open to all.
