Humans of Treaty 7 will share stories from Blackfoot and other First Nations or Indigenous Peoples in southern Alberta to support cultural understanding and help respond to misinformation about First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, cultures, languages, and communities. You may be invited to share a story about: a) What makes you proud to be Indigenous? b) Something you are proud of. c) An accomplishment you want to share. d) What you want others to understand about your culture or community. e) Experiences with misinformation and what you want people to know instead. This is part of a community-led research project led by the Ninastako Cultural Centre in collaboration with Lethbridge Polytechnic to understand how misinformation spreads online, and how we can respond.

Newcomers in Canada With Temporary Permits - Support Ecosystem

I scroll LinkedIn from time to time and see people doing well. I'm one of those scrollers with wants, dreams, and timelines. I'm Gail, a newcomer in Kingston. My work permit ends in December 2026; it's my 5th year here. I’ve been accepted into a master’s program at Queen’s University. In November, I’ll apply again for a study permit. If approved, I can stay until June 2028. That’s the time I have to explore one question: "What would it take to build an ecosystem of support for newcomers with time-limited status, so they can understand what they're going through, contribute to their community with dignity, and feel they belong even when it's uncertain how long they can stay?" I want to understand all the outside factors involved, not just our efforts. That’s why I’d like to hear from others in a similar situation. If your permit is ending soon or you’ve asked to extend it and are still waiting, I invite you to join a 90-minute Zoom talk. You can join from anywhere in Canada. The conversations will be held at 6 pm Eastern time on: - November 10th (Tue) - November 18th (Wed) - November 26th (Thu) - November 30th (Mon) We’ll focus on one question: ❓If we could change our situation, what would we do differently? And what can’t we change? What you share is up to you: with your name, anonymously, or not shared. No recording unless everyone agrees. This is NOT immigration advice. With your permission, I'll share what we learn on my website on December 6. Your time and experience are a kindness and a gift to others. Someone just starting out might read it. Leaving clues for others—shared lessons. I’m not an expert or knowledgeable. I’m just curious and want to be open about my experience. 👇🏼If you’re interested, you can sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gQFnrKGE Take care.

People With Unusual Jobs in Montreal - Documentary Series

Looking for people with unusual jobs in Montreal for a documentary project Do you have a weird, unusual, or unexpected job? I'm a documentary filmmaker based in Montreal, and I'm working on a new video series about people who make a living doing jobs that most of us probably didn't even know existed. To see a bit more about me and what I've done, my website is parkerstaff.me I've worked for Discovery, Paramount+, Netflix, Crave, the BBC and other channels. I'm looking for people withinteresting, unusual, niche, or downright strange jobsto be featured in short documentary-style videos about what they do and what life is like behind the job. Maybe you're a: • Crime scene cleaner • Funeral director • Stunt performer • Tattoo artist • Snake handler • Underwater welder • Private investigator • Taxidermist • Professional chef • Tower climber • Special-effects artist • Or something I've never even heard of! The job doesn't necessarily have to be "weird". I'm really looking for people who have a fascinating story or do something most people don't know much about. The idea is tomeet you, learn about your job, and spend a couple hours filming what you actually do. I'm interested in the people behind the jobs as much as the jobs themselves. If you think your job might fit, or you know someone who would be perfect,send me an email at [email redacted] or comment belowwith a little bit about what you do. Thanks! And please tag anyone you know who has an unusually interesting way of making a living!
