Purpose

Knowledge gathering / sharing circles will involve invited community members, Elders, Indigenous service providers, band councils, and representatives from several social service organizations pertaining to sexual violence and responses to such. These will identify gaps and explore opportunities for culturally grounded best practices to reduce racism, sexism and discrimination. Collectively, the activities are intended to develop the creation of an up-to-date map of policing services and policies currently in place in Mi'kma'ki to help inform the development of tools and resources to address gaps in the delivery of culturally competent police services.
