In honour of National Indigenous History Month, the MAKR Group of companies, which includes Parkworks, Waterplay, and Wekid Manufacturing, had the opportunity to learn from Lee Anne Cameron, an esteemed member of the Okanagan Indian Band, who joined the team for the first of three collaborative learning sessions focused on Truth and Reconciliation. Lee Anne generously shared her lived experience and breadth of knowledge about the history of Indigenous peoples who inhabit Turtle Island. 🧡 As Canadians, true reconciliation can only occur when we fully understand and acknowledge the truth of our past. We were honoured to spend time with Lee Anne – her contributions to-date have made a lasting impact on our organization, and we eagerly anticipate the remaining sessions. #NIHM2024 #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth #NIPD2024 #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #TruthAndReconciliation #MAKRGroup #Parkworks #Wekid #Waterplay
