Jun 18, 2019

A reconciliation plan for the city of Yellowknife is slowly making its way through city council.

The city is getting close to finishing a document that lays out plans for making the city more inclusive and respectful of Indigenous people.

On Monday, councillors discussed some ideas for reconciliation, including creating a strategy to boost the number of Indigenous people working for the city, and starting an elders-in-residence program at the library, where elders promote understanding of Indigenous perspectives and values.
