Montreal, Metropolis and indigenous: reality or utopia?

Montreal changed its flag and coat of arms in 2017 to include a white pine tree in the centre of a red circle, illustrating the ancestral presence of Indigenous peoples on the territory. The city also recently unveiled its strategy for reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. How can this process of recognition and reconciliation go beyond symbols?

The presentation will be in French followed by a discussion period in French and English with the public. This is your chance to share your point of view on the issue!
