Pickering partners up to explore Indigenous issues

The City of Pickering, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Pickering, Honouring Indigenous Peoples and the Pickering Public Library, is hosting a virtual community screening of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network’s ‘First Contact’ (Episode 1) on November 25, followed by an intimate panel discussion with Indigenous Elders.

The series, produced by Winnipeg-based Animiki See Digital Productions, Nüman Films, and Indios Productions, takes six Canadians – all with strong opinions about Indigenous people – on a unique 28-day exploration of Indigenous Canada.

It is a journey that will turn their lives upside down, challenge their perceptions, and confront their prejudices about a world they never imagined they would see. This exploration will undoubtedly add to the national conversation on Indigenous issues and reconciliation.

Attendees must be registered through Eventbrite to receive access to this free event. A link will be sent to all registered attendees closer to the date.
