Description:

In season 5 of MuniCast we are discussing how truth and reconciliation relates to municipalities. In this conversation Rhett Sangster and Shaid Heimbecker from the Office of the Treaty Commissioner discuss the progress of reconciliation in Saskatchewan, resources that municipalities can access to start, or enhance, their reconciliation work, and the reconciliation journeys that have already begun.

Rhett Sangster works with the Office of the Treaty Commissioner, coordinating efforts to engage both the public and community leaders on the nature of reconciliation in Saskatchewan. This process aims to work with as many partners as possible to identify shared priorities and a broadly-owned vision for the future.

Shaid Heimbecker is a member of the Muskoday First Nation on Treaty 6 territory. She was eager to learn about the Treaties, Canada’s history and the importance of her culture when she was in her adolescence and had the opportunity to work casually for the OTC from 2010 to 2015. Her return at the OTC in fall of 2021 has allowed her the opportunity of gaining a deeper understanding of Treaties and the history of Canada as well as her own culture, all of which she is passionate about. She is working with the Reconciliation team in the Truth and Reconciliation through Treaty Implementation(TRTI) Department, helping guide organizations on building an action plan for their reconciliation journey.
