It can be like you're getting paid to help a local Indigenous org, except instead of the org having to pay you, your employer does and the org gets free labor!

That's a really good idea. I went to withdraw cash today and noticed the bank office is closed, which seems like an odd way to get at truth and reconciliation, by giving a day off to mostly settlers.
