In honour of upcoming National Indigenous Peoples Day, join us for a screening of the film Voices: Lighting a Pathway to Indigenous Inclusion, a documentary that examines how Canada’s colonial legacy continues to shape its institutions — especially in business, policy, and economic development.
The film takes viewers on a journey through history and modern realities, guided by Indigenous voices who share their lived experiences and visions for meaningful collaboration.
We will be joined by producer of the film, Muckpaloo Ipeelie, an Inuk filmmaker and founder of Urban Inuit Identity Project Inc. from Iqaluit, Nunavut. With a background in Medical Laboratory Technology, Ipeelie recognized early-on the need for advocacy within healthcare settings. Over time, this advocacy grew into a multi-faceted initiative that now supports Inuit across both urban and remote communities.
Coffee, tea, and treats will be provided.
FREE to attend; Preregistration is required.
About the Film
“Voices: Lighting a Pathway to Indigenous Inclusion is a bold and timely documentary that examines how Canada’s colonial legacy continues to shape its institutions — especially in business, policy, and economic development. Through powerful interviews with Inuit and First Nations Elders and entrepreneurs, the film reveals why Indigenous inclusion is not just a legal obligation in government contracts but also a moral and economic necessity for a better future.
It showcases leadership, resilience, and transformation across sectors — offering a way forward for organizations and individuals ready to move beyond performative gestures toward genuine partnerships.” Read more at the Urban Inuit Identity Project website.
