    From Sept 30 -- The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation until Oct 6, 2021, the University of Alberta hosted, for the first time in school history, Free Application Days for First Nations, Metis and Inuit (FNMI) applicants. This unprecedented and important initiative, which brought together strategic enrollment and marketing stakeholders from across the Registrar's Office, resulte in year-over-year increase of 35% in direct-entry Indigenous applicants. However, the story of how an equity-seeking idea materializes into a Reconili-"Action" is a dramatic one. Via moderated interview of the Co-Chairs of the Working Group on Indigenous Free Application Day (WGIFAD), presenters will tell the vital story of the heroes and villians of Free App Days, the challenges, the perils, and ultimately the victory. This will be a vital story to hear for any strategic enrollment and marketing specialist at any major Canadian institution who desires to advance reconiliation and respond thoughtfully to any of the "94 Calls to Action" of the Truth and Reconciliation Comission.
