I am continuing to learn how Canada self identifies and how
she views herself in relation to the World.
I am continuing to learn how Canada and her people connect
to the World.
Interestingly enough Brits regardless of the still powerful (determining)
factor of class collectively all seem to have some awareness of the World and
Her people. And then they connect in
some way; if only as global tourists or consumers of some global news,
entertainment or food.
The summit was quite edifying and produced a myriad of
networking opportunities.
For me it gave me another glimpse into the nation that is
Canada as a whole and the pieces that She is made of.
The First Nations communities in all their glorious diversity,
I have so much more to learn. But at least
now I am aware.
I am learning how First Nations communities view
themselves. And then I am learning how
First Nations in plurality view their connections (or lack thereof) to the
nation that is Canada.
The event was hosted by the Mosaic Institute out of Toronto.
