Opportunity Description:

Reconciliation Canada is calling on volunteers who are willing to donate their time and energy for the Vancouver 2017 Walk for Reconciliation to help build a stronger relationship among Indigenous peoples and all Canadians and facilitate a better and stronger Canada for all. Born from the vision of Chief Dr. Robert Joseph, Gwawaenuk Elder, Reconciliation Canada is leading the way in engaging Canadians in dialogue and transformative experiences that revitalize the relationships among Indigenous peoples and all Canadians. Our model for reconciliation engages people in open and honest conversation to understand our diverse histories and experiences. The Walk for Reconciliation is a positive movement to build better relationships among Indigenous peoples and all Canadians. This bold vision calls on everyone of all ages, all backgrounds, all cultures and all faiths to come together as communities and as individuals. The act of walking and sharing our stories joins us in a commitment to create a new way forward for reconciliation. The Walk for Reconciliation is taking place on Sunday, September 24th, 2017. It begins at Queen Elizabeth Theatre and ends at Strathcona Park. Positions include, but are not limited to: Information Services Course Marshal Media Support Children and Family Area VIP Support Photographer/Videographer Story Gatherer Set Up & Take Down   The length of the shift will depend on the event that you’re volunteering with and the specific role that you take on during the day.
