Land and Peoples Relationship Ways Mentorship Program

Grounded in the principles of the Land and Peoples Relationship Model, Elder Copper Joe Jack will guide participants through an 8-month program on building respectful, caring, and collaborative sustainability solutions.

Participants will come together twice a month for two hours virtually (October 2025 – May 2026) to learn and share together. Participants will receive:

• In-depth learning about the Land and Peoples Relationships Model and the teachings that ground this collaborative planning tool
• Overview of Canada’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (with a specific focus on No. 13: Climate Action, No. 14: Life on Land, and No. 15: Life Below Water)
• Space to connect the Land and Peoples Relationship Model to participants’ work and life through a reflection and action project
• Teachings on how the Land and Peoples Relationship Model can be applied within each participants’ individual context
• Space to consider how the Land and Peoples Relationship Model relates to a broader national and international context
• A certificate of completion (upon fulfillment of the criteria)
• Invitation to apply for the Summer 2026 land-based course in Kwanlin (Whitehorse, Yukon)
