The Nookomis Nibi Biijigozi (Grandmother Water Moves Here) Advisory Circle (NNBAC) was created in ceremony as a visionary and advisory body. Our goal is to support the Laboratories Canada strategy by providing advice that supports the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples, and to contribute to Public Services and Procurement Canada’s efforts towards reconciliation.  
 
We represent a unique approach to working across cultures to bring the issues, experiences and perspectives of Indigenous Peoples to policy and programs, and to ensure that Indigenous perspectives are considered. Formed a little over a year ago, we have influenced our organisation by beginning to create an environment to discuss issues and innovative ways to contribute to reconciliation.  Come and meet the NNBAC members Angelene Giesbrecht, Jake Freeman, Mathew Smith, Reginald Parsons, and Selina Bishop and hear about our path to create a culturally safe work environment, and the foundation we are building. Facilitated by Lindsay Copland, PSPC. 

Note: The session will open and close in ceremony. Please bring water to drink.
