City of Medicine Hat is inviting Indigenous community members to be part of an Advisory Circle.
The City of Medicine Hat is inviting members from the Indigenous community who are either living or working in Medicine Hat to join an Indigenous Advisory Circle.
Those who identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit are encouraged to submit an expression of interest for the Advisory Circle.
Through the Indigenous Advisory Circle, members will provide guidance, advice, and lived-experience perspectives that help to support respectful relationships, meaningful engagement, as well as informed decision-making between Indigenous peoples and the City of Medicine Hat.
This Advisory Circle will help Indigenous voices to be heard, valued, and reflected in the municipal policies, programs, and initiatives in Medicine Hat.
“The City of Medicine Hat’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation means moving beyond words, and toward meaningful, relationship-based action. The creation of the Indigenous Advisory Circle is an important step, which creates a culturally respectful space for dialogue, accountability, and shared responsibility. It recognizes that Reconciliation requires Indigenous voices to be included in decisions that impact the community,” the Indigenous Relations Coordinator with Medicine Hat, Kellie Grace, stated in a release.
Those who wish to be considered for this role are encouraged to submit their expression of interest by Friday, February 27 at 3 p.m.
