Individual presentation recommends exchange visits and field trips between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal youth in elementary and high schools across Canada. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
Beck discusses "the society and what it stands for" through the use of a parable. Simon Jozzy discusses what the multicultural society means to him personally as an immigrant to Canada and stresses that "learning and education is the foundation of understanding." Beck then goes on to discuss racism and combatting it, while Jozzy adds the need for increased education and the important role that parents play in forming children's attitudes about race. Following the presentation the assembled Commissioners discuss the organization and some of the issues raised.
