About
To learn more about this land's treaty history and celebrate the active agreements these treaties seek to protect, the Town of Oakville sought guidance from local Indigenous leaders, including Grandmothers Voice. The result is a series of eight (8) free public conversations about practical directions and best practices relating to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
Planting our Seeds program themes include:

Examining the current state of urban Indigenous members of the community.
Community discussion around the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.
The resurgence of Indigenous voice, resiliency and culture.
Seeking reciprocity, community accountability and responsibility.
