This may include violence, discrimination or harassment based on gender and sexual identity and presentation, spiritual beliefs, dis/ability, age, or anything else that is central to our participants’ knowing and being. IILF will be a forum rooted in respect, relationships, reciprocity and responsibility.
Additionally, by entering this space, participants at IILF will:
- Commit to honouring and caring for the Lands and Waters on which we are gathered;
- Commit to maintaining respectful dialogue;
- Commit to respecting protocols that may not look like your own;
- Commit to holding things shared in confidence;
- Commit to active listening and responding in good faith;
- Commit to upholding Indigenous resurgence and Sovereignty work and to uplifting Indigenous voices and perspectives;
- Commit to seeking and respecting consent;
- Commit to unlearning the imperialist, white-supremacist, capitalist heteropatriarchy;
Additionally, participants will not take videos or photographs during Ceremonies or Teachings, and they will seek consent from speakers before sharing any content on social media, including videos, photographs and content sharing (e.g. live tweeting). This is a non-exhaustive code of behaviours and commitments, we expect participants to uphold the spirit and intention of the Forum. Participants who fail to uphold our zero tolerance stance on discrimination, violence and harassment will be asked to leave without a refund. All definitions of discrimination, violence and harassment are adherent to those set out by the University of Toronto, the venue for the Forum.
