Imagine A Canada - National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation

During the 6 year mandate of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), all Canadians were asked to reflect on the historical treatment of Indigenous peoples in this country. The TRC interviewed thousands of survivors and others affected by residential schools. 94 Calls to Action were issued by the TRC calling upon all Canadians to re-imagine their relationship with Indigenous people. Now, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is turning to Canada’s young people to lead a conversation around the future of the country.
