THUNDER BAY – Jody Wilson-Raybould will address reconciliation in a free virtual presentation offered in March by Diversity Thunder Bay.
Her talk, entitled ‘Taking Steps to Advance True Reconciliation,’ will be the keynote in the organization’s 16th annual celebration of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
The presentation will take place on Wednesday, March 23 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
In 2021, when Diversity Thunder Bay presented Jesse Wente for this type of virtual presentation, they had over 700 attendees pre-register, and they have already surpassed this and reached our initial attendance goal of 1000, for this year's event.
This milestone, along with the tremendous community support from all of their sponsors, is allowing Diversity Thunder Bay to increase the webinar capacity from 1,000 to 2,000.
Tickets for this free, virtual event are available on Diversity Thunder Bay’s website.
