As reconciliation efforts continue in Canada, the question is no longer whether institutions should engage, but how they can do so meaningfully and effectively. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders Indigenous Reconciliation Series, BMO’s Kayla Jacobs sits down with Peter Dinsdale, President and CEO of YMCA Canada, to discuss the practical realities of advancing reconciliation across organizations and sectors. From grassroots programming and education to national frameworks, the discussion unpacks how reconciliation can take shape in practice. Dinsdale reflects on the barriers organizations face and outlines how partnerships, cultural awareness, and patience can help move progress forward. The episode also explores the growing scale of Indigenous economic opportunity and the role that capital providers, policy frameworks, and business leaders can play in supporting long-term, Indigenous-led development.
