Thank you.
Brought to our attention early on was the need for targeted, culturally relevant, psycho-educational information that's specific to the unique experiences of first nations, Inuit and Métis veterans and their families. In response, the Atlas Institute initiated a project through which we're hoping to codevelop knowledge products in collaboration with a first nation, Inuit and Métis advisory group.
At the moment, we are coleading this work with two senior strategists: Tim O'Loan, a veteran from the Sahtu Dene first nation, and Shauna Mulligan, a Métis Ph.D. student in indigenous studies and a retired CAF reserve corporal. We've been working quite closely with these folks to learn what our role might be in supporting the development of informational resources and in learning how we can facilitate the co-creation. We started this work in 2023, and we're hoping that it will keep going past 2027, so we want to take the time to make sure we do this work in a culturally relevant and informed manner.
