RECONCILIATION: MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER - OVERVIEW
PAGE 12
Figure 1: Five Stages of Collaborative Planning
Stages 1 and 2 involve examining the organization’s recent and historical operations to develop a better sense of how reconciliation has been defined and understood to-date within BC Housing. These stages also involve looking at the nature of BC Housing’s relationships and initiatives to support reconciliation. Through this examination, BC Housing can establish a baseline for measuring its progress toward reconciliation. Stages 3 and 4 are focused on the future and on developing clear pathways forward. These stages involve visioning, goal setting, and action planning. Finally, in Stage 5, BC Housing will develop success measures on a collaborative basis with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations to determine if they are making progress toward achieving the reconciliation goals. Since reconciliation is an ongoing process, it is recommended that BC Housing repeat multiple cycles of work planning and updating the Reconciliation Strategy to ensure that it stays relevant and meaningful. WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS? As mentioned above, this Report represents an important first step within the overall process to develop a Reconciliation Strategy. While the input gathered provided insight that is relevant to all five stages, it is recommended that BC Housing revisit each stage in more depth as they continue the process of co-developing a Reconciliation Strategy. Creation of the Reconciliation Strategy will be undertaken in collaboration with interested Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations across BC.
