Truth and Reconciliation

• National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR)
• TRC – Calls to Action – “In order to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of Canadian reconciliation, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission makes the following calls to action” – TRC
• Reconciliation through Education
  ‘A part of our mandate at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) is to raise awareness of the history and creation of the residential school system, its ongoing legacy, and how it has shaped the country we live in today. The teaching resources and educational programming we offer make it easier for the public to learn the truth about this tragic history.
  
  The NCTR works closely with educators from a variety of sectors including the K-12 school system, post-secondary institutions, public service and professional sectors to provide access to materials and resources that can aid Canadians of any age to learn about and participate in reconciliation.
  
  As said by former Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) Chair, The Honourable Murray Sinclair “Education is what got us into this mess and education is key to getting us out of it.”’ -TRC website
