Provide additional training to staff and Board members on the topics of cultural humility, cultural sensitivity, and cultural safety and provide additional stages of training for staff on how to apply cultural awareness and knowledge to their work (e.g., learning about how increased understanding of Indigenous histories and colonial practices helps build positive relationships with Indigenous people and supports their goals to reclaim self-determination).
Make cultural awareness training mandatory for all staff and available to Board members and expand BC Housing’s course offerings to include other useful courses on the topics of reconciliation,
decolonization, and cultural sensitivity. Appendix B:
