Unpacking Truths in Truth and Reconciliation

Title: Truth before Reconciliation: Moving Forward in Peace, Friendship and Mutual Respect

In this month of learning about historical and contemporary relations between Indigenous Nations and the nation state of Canada, there are many painful truths that need to be unpacked. How can we learn together to unpack these truths and make these relationships more relevant - as individuals and as a society? How can we change how we listen and learn to move forward together with Peace, Friendship and Mutual Respect?

Join Dr. Ruth Green as she storytells about Treaty relations and responsibilities to the Lands and the people that have been caretakers of the territory known as Tkaronto since time immemorial.

Drop-in program. No registration required.
