Elder Te ho wis kwûnt (Al Doxtator) will sit down with Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s campus leaders for a new discussion series, The Truth in Reconciliation: A Conversation. Each session will explore how guests envision the campus community working together to achieve true reconciliation.
Organized by the National Day for Truth and Reciliation Working Group, the series will examine the university’s progress on reconciliation, as laid out in the Yakwanastahentéha Aankenjigemi Extending the Rafters: Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force Final Report. The series will also explore plans and ideas for reconciliation and Indigenization work at the institution.
The first event will take place November 19 with Principal Patrick Deane inside Wallace Hall from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. The remaining sessions, with dates to be announced, will feature Chancellor Shelagh Rogers and Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale in separate conversations, followed by a final session bringing the entire group together. Lisa Maracle, Associate Vice-Principal (Indigenous Initiatives), will moderate the discussions.
Campus community members can attend in person or watch online via livestream. .
