Next Wednesday I will be moderating a conversation between Phil Fontaine,
former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, and The Hon. Frank
Iacobucci, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, on the
residential schools and reconciliation. In 2006, these two men negotiated
the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, the largest class
action settlement in Canadian history. The agreement recognized the damage
inflicted on Indigenous peoples by residential schools, and established a
multi-billion-dollar fund to help former students in their recovery.  One
of the elements of the agreement was the establishment of a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission.



If you are interested in what reconciliation with Indigenous peoples means,
join me in this conversation with two very knowledgeable individuals.

The webinar details are on the attached document.
