Two Black women are seated at a table, with a piece of flip-chart paper in front of them, both looking off-camera to the left. The woman on the right looks like she’s speaking; she’s wearing a blue denim jacket, yellow earrings, and her hair is pulled back. She’s gesturing as she speaks. The woman on the right is writing on the flip-chart paper; she’s wearing a grey cardigan over a yellow top. Her short red hair is swept to the side and she is wearing glasses.

Our Regional Hubs

All of the work of Righting Relations is driven by our members through our autonomous Regional Hubs and their local Circles. You can get involved, or find out more about the approach, activities, and impact of each Hub and Circle by visiting their section and contacting the Coordinator.

Photo of a large piece of white poster paper spread out on the floor. Three people are kneeling to paint on the paper, their upper bodies not visible. In colourful paint, messages have been written along with designs of a turtle, the medicine wheel, and abstract designs. Messages include “Indigenous excellence; Your wisdom can heal the world; You are not forgotten; Water is Life; All my relations”.
Four women stand with their arms around each others’ backs, facing the camera. They’re indoors, with a painted green and brick wall behind them. Each woman is wearing a name badge and smiling.

How the Hubs Work

Righting Relations has built a network organized into regional hubs and local circles that are actively working together to influence change. Each Hub works closely with a local anchor organization, and receives guidance, leadership, and operational support from a Regional Advisory Council of active circle members from across that Hub.

At the local levels, meeting in circle format, our members work to facilitate change in their communities. At this level, it is about coming together to support each other, challenge ourselves, and strengthen our communities. This is the active work of Righting Relations which keeps us strong.

The Change Labs

From 2022-2024, Righting Relations hosted seven women-led, pan-national Change Labs, funded by WAGE Canada. These Change Labs aim to support educators and organizers with lived experience in designing strategies, tools, and resources for systemic change. At the end of the project, the Learning and Growth team compiled a Final Report including recommendations for implementation and impact summaries from each individual Change Lab:

The Change Lab initiative received additional funding through the WAGE Canada Scale-Up grant for 2024-2026; outputs will continue to be shared on our resources page and social media.
