Beyond Attitude Consulting acknowledges we operate in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq First Nation and the Crown, dating from 1725 to 1779. In 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Marshall, upheld the 1752 treaty “which promised Indigenous Peoples the right to hunt and fish their lands and establish trade.”
We also acknowledge that we work and play in many unceded territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across North America, and respect the rights and traditions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples therein.
We are all Treaty People.
Scotland in the Fall
As well, this return visit gives me an opportunity to re-connect with some terrific people and organizations I have met and worked with in the past. In particular, I am keen to see my colleagues at the Caledonian Environment Centre (http://www NULL.gcu NULL.ac NULL.uk/environment/), with whom I have had the pleasure to work with in the UK and Canada. Together we have done waste management planning and Community-based Social Marketing training.
I am going to be talking about how Community-based Social Marketing is used to engage citizens to foster positive environmental behaviours. I will use examples from my past work in both Canada and the UK. I hope to see you there!
I better see if my tuxedo still fits. I haven’t worn it since I last attended the conference’s gala awards banquet, over 5 years ago. Yikes!
