Meet Thruline Leaders
Leaders equipping leaders to recognize and eliminate Indigenous-specific racism.
Why Thruline?
Discrimination against Indigenous people is a pervasive and complex problem that harms individuals, communities, and institutions. Effectively eliminating it requires experience, rigorous analysis, and intentional strategy rooted in an understanding of colonial and structural causes.
Thruline specializes in helping organizations reveal the lines between harmful incidents, recurring patterns, and the systems that enable them.
We work alongside leaders to clarify how these structures operate, then design a Thruline to change with concrete accountability mechanisms so that commitments are translated to enduring action.
For leaders and executives in public and private sector organizations
Supporting accountable leadership in complex systems.
We advise governments and institutions to recognize, interrupt, and prevent Indigenous-specific racism helping leaders respond with accountability, responsibility, and care.
For Indigenous leadership, organizations and Nations
Supporting Indigenous leadership in holding systems accountable.
We work alongside Indigenous leaders to strengthen strategy, leadership, and learning related to the issue of racism as it impacts people in their respective organizations and communities.
How we work
We focus on action, with attention to creating opportunities for measured shifts in practice, policy, and workplace culture, so that Indigenous people receive safer services and experience safer working conditions. Our work is relational, context-specific, and grounded in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
We prioritize accountability mechanisms in our collaborative efforts to make racism against Indigenous people a solvable problem. Our process begins with a careful assessment of your organization and its challenges, allowing us to customize our approach to your specific requirements.
From intention to accountable action
We train Canadian health and social service organizations to recognize, interrupt, and prevent Indigenous-specific racism through evidence-based programs that create measurable change.
