Truth and Reconciliation 

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation takes place on September 30 each year. Indigenous Sport Physical Activity and Recreation Council (ISPARC) has launched their Indigenous Cultural Safety Training, and there's now a waitlist open for the next round in February 2025. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to engage in meaningful learning around reconciliation. If you’re seeking a valuable way to deepen your understanding of Indigenous cultural safety, this could be an excellent addition to your journey.
