Good morning,

I'm writing to share information about a non-credit course being offered by Renison University College titled Reconciliation: Discussions and Implications for Settler Peoples in Canada (IS 110)<https://uwaterloo.ca/community-and-professional-education/indigenous-studies#IS-110> this fall.

The course is open to the general public and is specifically designed for non-Indigenous Canadians. In addition to serving a critical educational purpose, the course provides a space for the sharing, discussing, and processing of feelings ranging from discomfort, anger, grief and garden variety "I had no idea.." sentiments. I took the course in 2018 and it had a significant impact on me both personally and professionally.

An information session is being held on Wednesday, July 28th at noon<https://uwaterloo.ca/community-and-professional-education/indigenous-studies/learn-more-about-reconciliation-canada> (EST) for those curious about the course and the instructor, Kelly Laurila (who is incredible).

All the best,
Danielle

I live and work on lands deeply connected to Indigenous peoples who have historically lived, and continue to live, in this territory. These groups include the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University of Waterloo is situated on the Haldimand Tract<http://www.sixnations.ca/LandsResources/HaldProc.htm>, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River.
