The Regeneration Learning Society (Regen) exists to build the capacity of people, communities, and organizations to learn, engage and lead in creating a socially just, low carbon future for all Albertans.
We do this through educational programming, peer-to-peer learning, and the practice of design, innovation, and reconciliation.

RECONCILIATION
We are guided by the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and those of our indigenous Elders, allies and co-workers in striving for reconciliation with the people of the Sisikaitsitapi, Îyarhe Nakoda, Danit'ada, Métis, Nehiyawok, Salteaux*, and other Indigenous nations as we live and work on Treaties 6, 7 and 8 lands.
*described by settlers as the Blackfoot Confederacy, Stoney Nakoda, Dene, Cree, and Sauteaux Nations

The Regeneration Learning Society places the practices of reconciliation, equity, inclusion and accountability at the centre of all our work and in every gathering.
