At Now What Facilitation we acknowledge the devastating and lasting impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples and are committed to playing an active role in the journey toward reconciliation. We recognize the importance of understanding, respecting and incorporating the cultures, histories, wisdom and contributions of Indigenous communities into all aspects of our work.

We are dedicated to fostering relationships built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding with Indigenous Peoples and communities. This commitment includes listening to Indigenous voices, integrating their wisdom into our practices, fighting for social justice and ensuring that our actions contribute to a more just and equitable society.

We pledge to continuously educate ourselves and our stakeholders about the ongoing effects of colonization, to challenge systemic barriers, and to support initiatives that promote healing and reconciliation. Through our work, we aim to create spaces that are inclusive, culturally safe, and supportive of Indigenous rights and sovereignty.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to walking this path with humility, openness, and a deep sense of responsibility.
