Imagine: A Canada Through the Lens of Reconciliation

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has put out a call to all students, kindergarten to post-secondary, to share their vision of what reconciliation could be in Canada. Imagine Canada is an opportunity for schools and students to thoughtfully and actively participate in the act of reconciliation.

Please check out the video in the link above for more information. This video is a great way to introduce the opportunity to the students. As always, the conversations that lead up to, during and after our work in this area is what leads to a deeper understanding of our history and the legacy of it for all of us - Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

Secret Path
