The Truth and Reconciliation Gathering Conference is an annual event hosted by the University College of the North (UCN). Since the initial release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report in 2015, the Canadian government, educational institutions, community organizations, and Canadians have a responsibility to repair the harm caused by residential schools.
Our hope is that participants will:
• Gain an understanding of multifaceted approaches to building and maintaining community relationships and their responsibility in maintaining these relationships
• Consider ways individuals and organizations can support various healing practices and a community and local levels
• Gain awareness and celebrate successful initiatives and practices enacted in various Indigenous communities
• Develop an awareness of the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future
