New Indigenous Resources and Connections Portal on ParksNet

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the Indigenous Resources and Connections Portal on ParksNet. This new space is filled with valuable resources for all employees and managers. The portal includes links to the latest learning opportunities, wellness resources, and information on the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Action Plan through the Parks Canada Indigenous Stewardship Framework.   

The portal represents a collaboration between the Indigenous Workforce Strategies Team from the Human Resources and Employee Wellness Directorate, and the Indigenous Affairs Branch from the Indigenous Affairs and Cultural Heritage Branch, guided by an internal working group of employees representing all three Indigenous groups (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis). We appreciate the dedication, time, and contributions of the working group to the development of this important resource.

We invite you to take the time to explore the portal and hope you will find resources that interest and inspire you. Please check back often as resources and tools continue to be updated. Remember that we all play a vital role in supporting and empowering each other and fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment.

Thank you,

Parcs Canada - 450 000 km² de souvenirs | Parks Canada - 450 000 km² of memories
