In this episode of the ACHIEVE Workplace Culture Podcast, Chris Downey and Wendy Loewen are joined by special guest Mel Bazin, Director of Indigenous Services with CTRI and ACHIEVE. Together, they explore what reconciliation really means for organizations and how it connects to workplace culture.

The conversation dives into why understanding history matters, how colonial structures continue to shape our systems today, and what it takes to move from performative gestures to meaningful, reciprocal relationships. With practical insights on creating inclusive environments, embracing missteps as learning opportunities, and ensuring all voices are welcomed “around the fire,” this episode challenges leaders to see reconciliation as both a responsibility and an opportunity to foster healthier workplaces.
