*Resource en Anglais Seulement* Water – The Sacred Relationship, is the result of a three year research project by Native Counselling Services of Alberta that features a documentary film, educational curriculum and a public policy research article. Guided by a circle of Cree Elders and led by a team of Aboriginal and Western Scientists, The Sacred Relationship explores how reconciling the relationship between Aboriginal people and the rest of Canada can lead to healthier water.
Why water?
For generations, the relationship between Aboriginal people and the rest of Canada has been damaged. Can water be the common ground that begins to reconcile this relationship?
We think so. Watch the videos. Teach the curriculum. Begin the dialogue.

*Resource en Anglais Seulement* In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, the CSCNS embarked on an organizational learning journey beginning in the fall of 2018. At the completion of that program and through various initiatives since, the CSCNS is steadfast in its commitment to deepening a better understanding of the truth of Canada’s shared history with Indigenous peoples, and to taking a leadership role to co-create shared learning spaces across the province to create dialogue, education spaces, and meaningful movement toward reconciliation.
As part of this responsive action, our goal is to continue to increase individual and organizational awareness about local Indigenous communities, build capacity to support and mobilize the non-profit sector. We believe that by helping to build a critical mass of citizens and change makers through education, dialogue, and right relations with Indigenous communities that genuine shifts in the ways we work in organizations, on boards, and as communities that we collectively create a step closer towards reconciliation.
We further believe that true transformation happens at the level of self, systems, and society. These sessions are designed to enhance personal reflection and to begin to open a dialogue on how to implement change in our organizations. As such, we strongly encourage organizations to have both their staff and board teams participate in the Learning Journey together. Ideally, participants will learn progressively throughout the program so as to build on their knowledge. Because sessions are recorded, participants can watch and re-watch in a way that suits their schedule, though being on the live call will allow for further interaction.
We began this journey in June 2020 with 4 webinars themed around the topic of Pre-Contact and Early History. As we continue the Journey this September, Series 2 focuses on Indigenous Rights, Residential Schools, Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, as well as Two-Eyed Seeing. We’ve made registering for sessions easier in this round and we do hope that you can join us for all 5 webinars in Series 2!

L’élévation du niveau de la mer est-elle vraiment un sujet de préoccupation ?
En tant qu’éducateur, comment puis-je enseigner ces choses ?
Dans ce webinaire, nous allons étudier les variations du niveau de la mer dans le passé et le futur, le lien avec les changements climatiques anthropiques, et comment présenter ce sujet à des étudiants et au public dans un contexte éducationnel. Nous allons aussi parler des prévisions pour les prochaines décennies, voir siècles. Ensuite, nous regarderons quelques-uns des impacts anticipés sur les zones côtières, incluant les risques de submersion marine, d’accélération de l’érosion, ou encore d’intrusion d’eau salée. Nous verrons comment les différents impacts des changements climatiques se combinent et créent de nouveaux risques. Ce webinaire sera utile aux nouveaux enseignants et éducateurs de ce sujet, et à ceux avec un bagage scientifique qui aimeraient améliorer leurs compétences en communication.
*Resource en Anglais Seulement* We believe educating is a tool of empowerment and that empowering educators as critical messengers of climate and energy literacy is part of the solution to climate change.

Abstract:
Climate change is an urgent global issue, with demands for personal, collective, and governmental action. Although a large body of research has investigated the influence of communication on public engagement with climate change, few studies have investigated the role of interpersonal discussion. Here we use panel data with 2 time points to investigate the role of climate conversations in shaping beliefs and feelings about global warming. We find evidence of reciprocal causality. That is, discussing global warming with friends and family leads people to learn influential facts, such as the scientific consensus that human-caused global warming is happening. In turn, stronger perceptions of scientific agreement increase beliefs that climate change is happening and human-caused, as well as worry about climate change. When assessing the reverse causal direction, we find that knowing the scientific consensus further leads to increases in global warming discussion. These findings suggest that climate conversations with friends and family enter people into a proclimate social feedback loop.
