Join us to watch virtual lunch and learn sessions on topics related to Truth and Reconciliation.
Sept. 26: A community perspective of United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: Speakers Ovide Mercredi and Megan Lewis will discuss the journey of Canada’s endorsement of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the significance of this milestone, and its potential to reshape the Crown-Indigenous relationship. Audience members will come away with knowledge of the progress made and information on how to overcome resistance to the Declaration. Moderated by Sherri Helgason.
Sept. 27: How do we address the barriers to reconciliation? Dr. Eva Jewell and NCTR Governing Circle member & residential school Survivor Dr. Levinia Brown will shed light on the biggest barriers to Reconciliation, the lack of progress made on the TRC’s Calls to Action, and what Canadians need to do to keep moving forward and enact change. Audience members will come away with an understanding of what is preventing progress and how as individuals we can take responsibility for Reconciliation. Moderated by Cole Kippenhuck.
