Truth and Reconciliation Commission
September 20, 2012 – The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) will host hearings in Thompson (September 25 and 26) and at Sagkeeng First Nation (October 2 and 3).
The hearings will provide an opportunity for those affected by the Indian Residential School system and its legacy to share their experiences with a TRC Commissioner (Dr. Marie Wilson in Thompson; Chief Wilton Littlechild at Sagkeeng) as well as with community members and anyone else who would like to learn about and bear witness to the schools’ legacy. Those who want to make a private statement to the Commission will also be able to do so.
Thompson: September 25, 26 at River Lodge, 351 Jasper Avenue
Sagkeeng: October 2, 3 at Sagkeeng Arena Multiplex
