Weaving Relations for Meaningful and Genuine Change
February 12 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

In this Indigenous Speakers Series session, we will have a conversation with Dana-Lyn Mackenzie, a member of the Hwlitsum First Nation, lawyer, and Senior Manager, EDI & Indigeneity, at the Faculties of Applied Science and Land and Food Systems. Dana-Lyn is the recipient of two UBC President’s Staff Awards for Advancing Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence (2024) and for Advancing Diversity and Inclusion (2016). She was instrumental in creating the Intergenerational March to Commemorate Orange Shirt Day, the Weaving Relations course, and the Cascades of Change: Inclusive Leadership and Respectful Engagement program. In this conversation, you will learn more about what it means to be involved and to lead change in the processes of truth and reconciliation at UBC and beyond.
This event is moderated by Derek K Thompson – Čaabať Bookwilla | Suhiltun, Director of Indigenous Engagement at the Faculty of Medicine, and is organized by the Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (REDI).
