“Working/sharing/laughing/learning/sharing with joy, solidarity and compassion: This is what Righting Relations means to me.”
Maria Antelo, Hamilton Circle
Our Hub’s History
The Central Hub emerged in 2016 when over 50 adult educators and community organizers gathered for a day-long reflection journey in response to the desire to build a Righting Relations Hub in Ontario. From this seed, Circles emerged in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, and most recently Montreal.
Working to hold space to cultivate and nourish relationships with the self and each other, each Circle responds to the unique needs of its members: reflecting on what it means to be a settler in Hamilton; forging allyship between Indigenous and newcomer communities in Toronto; building bridges for healing from racism between Black and Indigenous communities in Ottawa, and supporting Black women activists in Montreal. By trusting the circle process, each continues to decolonize, build community, and share knowledge.
