Coffee & Talk: Honoring National Indigenous Peoples Day

Join us for a meaningful Coffee & Talk with Courtney Dowdall, a proud Métis researcher, nationally recognized scholar, and advocate for change. Currently completing her PhD at Simon Fraser University, Courtney has been federally honoured for her groundbreaking research on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Canada.
Drawing from lived experience, Indigenous knowledge, and global interviews with frontline professionals, Courtney explores coercive control, how IPV escalates to lethal outcomes, and the systemic gaps that allow it to persist.
This event will spark vital conversation on prevention, intervention, and building a safer, more informed community. Let’s come together to listen, learn, and honour.
In partnership with the Streams Foundation of Canada.
