Getting coffe refill :) 01:17:42 Leone Pippard: That is ‘the arts organization that we may serve on’. 01:18:12 Pam Patel: This one is tough - as an organization that engages with newcomer and refugee communities, maintaining digital spaces have been a challenge over these past two years... and holding space for these conversations is so important in this time! 01:18:37 Tosh Southwick: absolutely Pam! 01:20:32 Cassandra Ivany: Here is a screenshot of poll #2 01:22:13 Cassandra Ivany: And here is poll #1 01:22:30 Lynn Feasey: Inga, this is a great question and I would really love to explore that. 01:22:57 Ilene Elkaim: Agreed! 01:26:19 Pam Patel: Love that question!! 01:29:11 Cenk Guven: I guess “you” is about how you define or associate yourself… sometimes you the individual and sometimes you as the organization you serve/ represent… depends on context 01:29:13 Tosh Southwick: How do others feel abut Inga question? Feel free to add in the chat 01:29:48 Tosh Southwick: Yes Cenk! 01:29:49 Cenk Guven: We are responsible for both 01:31:22 Tim Yerxa: Organizations cannot "believe" anything or have "values". Those are attributes reserved for humans. Humans can organize themselves into "organizations" with shared values or agreed upon truths. 01:32:18 Cenk Guven: Organizations have values, no? 01:32:34 Inga Petri (she/her): Good reminder, Tim. 01:32:55 Mike Hirschbach: On our site, we talk about our aims/goals/policies, & saying, "We put this into practice by...", and then being specific about programs and efforts. We don't publicize/advertise our personal efforts/journeys, which are a different kettle of fish. 01:33:51 Tim Yerxa: I personally believe that organizations can't have values. But organized people can express shared values and it comes out as expressed "organizational values" 01:35:05 Cenk Guven: Organizations are just group of individuals 01:35:22 Jai Djwa (he/him) Vancouver: There is a lot of research that shows that people in organizations often express different values then when they are individuals. 01:35:32 Jai Djwa (he/him) Vancouver: Culture is a thing 01:36:10 Cenk Guven: I think there is “I” and there is “we” 01:36:45 Tim Yerxa: For sure Jai. Agree on that. 01:55:05 Cassandra Ivany: https://fnigc.ca/ocap-training/ 01:57:54 Inga Petri (she/her): Your comments and questions are welcome as we go especially as we are in the 4th quarter of this session now. 02:00:15 Tosh Southwick: we have a few more slides then we will be looking to tackle some of those amazing questions you have . 02:00:32 Tosh Southwick: so as Inga says please feel free to start asking and also sharing thoughts in the Chat 02:03:40 Cenk Guven: Sounds like forming *local* relationships and bonds is still the right way to improve our work on digital spaces 02:06:59 Sarah Hill: Are there any favourite examples you can share of great digital projects that are leading the way for reconciliation, decolonization, diversity, equity, inclusion... all the things you've been talking about today? 02:09:10 Tosh Southwick: https://ourpath.yukonu.ca/ 02:09:45 Jai Djwa (he/him) Vancouver: How can we address some of the tensions between different marginalized groups. Like the discussion around IPBOC vs BIPOC. It’s frustrating that there isn’t a common ally ship that is obvious. I guess relationships, but still hard. 02:10:04 Inga Petri (she/her): https://linkeddigitalfuture.ca/2021/06/22/wikidata-with-five-indigenous-artists/ 02:12:31 Kris Boyd - The Cultch: Where I work, The Cultch recently presented our third year of The Transform Cabaret Festival, focused on empowering Indigenous artists https://transformcabaret.com/about/ 02:12:34 Tosh Southwick: https://opencanada.org/reconciliation-digital-age/ 02:13:44 Inga Petri (she/her): https://nac-cna.ca/en/indigenoustheatre 02:14:51 Jai Djwa (he/him) Vancouver: thx 02:15:22 Tosh Southwick: https://faculty.educ.ubc.ca/norton/Hare_etal_c150%2B.pdf 02:17:01 Chrystal Kolt: Work on celebrating Birch Bark Biting 02:17:30 Leone Pippard: Thanks for a very informative session. 02:18:54 Lynn Feasey: Brilliant, heartfelt thank you to everyone. 02:18:55 Cenk Guven: Thank you all so much for an inspiring and informative session. 02:18:56 Jai Djwa (he/him) Vancouver: Yes, thank you, so great to hear from you and I feel like you gave such a great overview.

That’s something I need to unpack for myself. 02:20:48 Cenk Guven: Many takeaways but one is “continue reaching out and challenging bias and privilege” 02:21:14 Genny DeMerchant: Thanks so much for this session. It has been so on point! Very helpful information 02:21:17 Tosh Southwick: Thank you so much everyone! 02:21:28 Christina Cafouros: Thank you everyone 02:21:36 Tanya Craig Town of Stratford, PEI: It's really ok to not know it all.

Good list of resources to check out, and inspiration, so a good mix of how and why. 02:22:04 Christina Cafouros: A lot of work pulling this altogether, much appreciated! 02:22:19 Chrystal Kolt: The video at the beginning of the meeting really affected me. I can't wait to chat with my Indigenous Chairperson about it. 02:22:24 Catherine Moore: How the digital environment can bring variety of knowledge all together in an interactive way. Digital engagement features can inspire users in this space to look in multiple ways. 02:22:41 Francesa ACLD: That it’s okay to say “I don’t know” so that I can find ways or resources to move forward. 02:22:50 Mike Wallace: Thank you. 02:22:56 Inga Petri (she/her): https://digitalartsnation.ca/event/digital-arts-nation-whats-next/ 02:23:01 Inga Petri (she/her): All sessions are here. 02:23:29 Heidi Fleming: thank you so much for inviting me...lots to digest! 02:23:49 Tosh Southwick: https://www.irpotential.com/ feel free to reach out!
