Local conference to focus on reconciliation

Transition Kamloops  September 30, 2025 at 8:00 pm

Inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and reconciliation are the subjects of a two-day conference to be held in Kamloops October 29 – 30. Rethinking Community: Diverse Community Voices, a partnership between Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc and the City of Kamloops, is now open for registration.

The conference is designed collaboratively through both the Indigenous and settler lens to meaningfully discuss what it means to be a welcoming and inclusive community while amplifying diverse voices from across sectors. Using keynote speakers, breakout groups and panel discussions, the organizers aim to ground participants in lived experiences as well as facilitate action-oriented dialogue.

There are volunteer opportunities available, and selected volunteers will have their registration fees waived. Click here to apply for this opportunity.

Transition Kamloops

Transition Kamloops is a volunteer-driven, registered not-for-profit society focused on increasing local resilience and self-sufficiency in food, water, energy, culture and wellness. We emphasize a local economy, healthy ecosystems, and grassroots community building, while reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. We believe in a better way: a community that sustains life in all its diversity, strives for equality and justice and invests in the future.

Transition Kamloops recognizes that we are living on Secwépemcul’ecw—land that was never ceded to settlers, and continues to be home to vibrant Indigenous cultures, languages, and traditions. We acknowledge the impact of colonization, forced displacement, and ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples. We commit to listening, learning, and building positive relationships with Indigenous communities as we work towards reconciliation.
