Dr. Tink will demonstrate how recreation has by design, always been an exclusive environment targeting white, able-bodied settlers. Afterwards, she will guide participants through a critical dialogue intended to explore what is inherently problematic, difficult and dangerous in the discourses, practices, and policies that guide their day-to-day work as recreation programmers and policy-makers. After lunch and refreshments, a Blanket Exercise will be led by the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre.
