Truth and Reconciliation: University Canada West marks National Day

Last week, University Canada West was honoured to be a presenting sponsor for a BC Chamber of Commerce event, Embracing Truth: Honouring the National Day for Reconciliation. This virtual event was designed to facilitate education, reflection and meaningful dialogue about the history and ongoing impacts of the residential school system in BC and across Canada.
The session ended with a screening of the trailer for UCW’s groundbreaking series Understanding Indigenous History: A Path Forward. UCW also hosted a viewing of two episodes of the series for students, faculty and staff followed by a conversation with Indigenous Elder Calvin Swustus.
