How do you bridge the gap between knowledge and action when it comes to reconciliation? In this episode of Ampersand we hear from Don Kelly, an experienced communicator who has served the Assembly of First Nations, Mastercard Foundation and the CBC in his long career. 

Don highlights the importance of supporting Indigenous-led innovation and the continuing gaps in public awareness regarding Indigenous issues. He and Caitlin delve into the role of media in reconciliation, the challenges posed by misinformation, and the benefits of incorporating Indigenous knowledge in education. 

This season of Ampersand is dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the TRC and explores its lasting impacts. Through conversations with Survivors, scholars, and advocates, this season reflects on the progress made since the TRC’s final report and Calls to Action, while also addressing the challenges that remain.
