Since 2021, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) has been commemorated on September 30. The Truth and Reconciliation Committee would like to invite the College community to come to the offerings below and learn about residential schools and their impact today. This public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. We hope to see you at these offerings.
We acknowledge that these offerings are happening on the traditional, ancestral, unceded and present-day lands of the Musqueam who have stewarded them since time immemorial.
Resources
It’s important to understand and recognize the past in order to build a strong and shared future. We invite you to visit the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation resources page for a collection of resources, podcasts, videos, local events, and much more to begin, or continue, the ongoing process of reconciliation.
List of Offerings
Many of the offerings below include mention and discussion around residential schools and other potentially sensitive and traumatic subject matters. Please take care and consider your capacity for engaging in this information as we have not been able to provide warnings for each offering.
