UFV’s Race and Antiracism Network is commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on Mon, March 21 from 10 am to noon in B121.
The event features a presentation by Dr. Gregory Younging, a Member of Opsakwayak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba, who will provide a glimpse into the residential school era and the subsequent Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (2006). The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) as a transitional justice mechanism, including personal insights into the TRC process, and the concept of inherited histories will also be covered.
The presentation will draw conclusions about the impact of the TRC Final Report and 94 recommendations on the prospect of reconciliation. Opportunities for questions and discussions will follow Dr. Younging’s presentation.
The event is open to all UFV community members and partners. Come out, bring a friend, and be inspired to take action!
