Honouring the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 10th anniversary of the release of its Final Report and 94 Calls to Action, this in-person and ONLINE event invites participants to consider what meaningful reconciliation requires today.

Join Dr. Marie Wilson, former Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and Stephen Kakfwi, former Premier of the Northwest Territories and residential school Survivor, for a conversation on truth, reconciliation, and the responsibilities that remain before us. Moderated by Crystal Gail Fraser, this discussion will reflect on the legacy of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the ongoing impacts of residential schooling, and the possibilities for building more respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Grounded in lived experience, public leadership, and a commitment to justice, this event invites participants to consider what meaningful reconciliation requires today.  

For those attending in-person, a FREE community meal will be served following the presentation.

This event is presented by the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus in partnership with the Faculties of Native Studies and Arts.
