​Mission Statement: To provide Cultural Competency training for workplace professionals.

LCS inspires everyone to discover the history, culture, and value of the Indigenous people in communities, their regions, their workplaces and across the country.​
Our Goal: Following 94 Calls to Action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, LCS will provide Cultural competency training for workplace professionals. This Cultural competency training hopes to break down barriers for Indigenous people and all participants to gain knowledge and understanding of the history of Indigenous people, the legacy of residential schools, and much more. LCS's goal is to have each participant incorporate intangible knowledge going forward, which will allow for more positive socio-economic impacts. Some will include respect, encouragement, and acceptance to move forward working together, collaboratively and respectfully alongside Indigenous colleagues, friends, and neighbours in the workplace and our everyday lives.​
LCS Cultural Awareness Indigenous Learning NL (CAIL NL) offers lunch and learn sessions, virtual classes, and online self-paced classes. This quality online cultural competency training is aimed toward workplace professionals and is not possible without respectfully passing on our lived experiences and knowledge from our Indigenous elders.
