Reconcile: Witnessing Candid Truths From Survivors:

Amongst the political discourse and calls to action- there are stories left untold.

Join us as we witness the voices of residential school survivors and 60’s scoopers in this event focusing on hard truths and healing. Come watch the acclaimed documentary " We Were Children" by Tim Wolochatiuk and the listen to Elders Patrick Stephenson ( Pakayagun) and Aldeen Mason share their own experiences within the systems of removal.

Come bare witness to the impact of colonial harm, displacement and what it means to reconcile in today's world. Let us examine how this legacy shapes the environment we face today as Indigenous people, and explore the continuity of the oppressive systems that have harmed us since first contact.

This event will be held in the historic building of St. Ann’s Academy, a place that has held an order of nuns responsible for running notoriously heinous residential institutions. By hosting here we hope to reclaim the stories lost to time, to fill its halls with the voices and accounts of those who have survived, and continue to survive today with the legacy of colonization and religious indoctrination at our heels.

Come be a part of this meaningful event, from 4:30-7pm September 30th 2023.- Doors open at 4pm. Street parking and limited pay parking available.

Seats are limited, make sure you register early to reserve your space.
