Truth Gathering – Truth & Reconciliation Commission
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is one of the elements of the residential school survivors’ settlement agreement. In this meaningful encounter, you are invited to take a closer look at the process of this historical commission over their years of operation and how they carefully approached survivors to gather their stories. Particular focus will be on the calls to action and what this means for Canadians. Connecting with exhibition Indigenous Voices of Today: Knowledge, Trauma, Resilience, Professor Wanda Gabriel will explore how sharing the stories of trauma and resiliency breaks the code of silence.
The activity, in English, will also be livestreamed on the McGill School of Continuing Studies YouTube Channel.
