Members of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Credit River Métis Council (CRMC) and the MNO Oshawa Durham Métis Council (ODMC) recently joined the MNO Peterborough and District Wapiti Métis Council (PDWMC) for a workshop held at Fleming College in Peterborough. The course entitled, Leading Responsibly: Bridging Worldviews to Address Complex Problems, was led by Jane Gray.
During the workshop, Gray shared her years of experience, which allowed Council members to explore different approaches and perspectives that influence decision-making about lands, waters and communities. The course also touched on ways to develop bridging strategies through communication and problem solving and identified steps towards solutions on various issues. Council members were provided with tools and strategies to create practical and positive approaches for working with other organizations on issues large and small.
