I narrate a lot of educational courses. Many of them you remember for all the right reasons. It's easy to pinpoint the one course from 2016 that had a real impact on me both as a Canadian and as a Post-Secondary College teacher (23 years). That course was the Canadian Indigenous Culture Training - Truth and Reconciliation Edition, a course developed by the Indigenous Leadership Development Institute Inc. I thought I understood the history of Canada's First Nations, but this course was literally one new discovery after another. It's given me a totally new perspective that I needed to read and hear. Education is the key to understand the harsh realities that have created so many hardships for Canada's Indigenous population and even more so..a course like this offers the path forward with a clear direction for the future.
I can sum it up in one sentence. This is one course that should be mandatory, not only for every government employee, but for every teacher in Canada.

Canadian Indigenous Culture Training
Truth and Reconciliation Edition
When individuals from differing cultural backgrounds interact, there is often miscommunication, misunderstanding, and frustration. These obstacles can be overcome by making all parties more culturally sensitive. It is important for people to recognize how cultural backgrounds affect individual perceptions and actions; and how cultural awareness can improve the relationship between people from differing cultural backgrounds.

Respect and Inclusion

Diversity encompasses all of the ways that we are different from each other, including factors like race, ethnicity, culture, religion, age, gender, and sexual orientation. Respect and Inclusion is an online training course that educates participants about diversity and inclusion, identifies the characteristics of a respectful workplace, and examines acceptable and unacceptable workplace attitudes and behaviours.
