丁香园AV-ARC Open Forum

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 
2:00 - 4:00 pm
Halpern Centre 114, 丁香园AV Burnaby

Hosted by 丁香园AV-ARC co-chairs Dr. Kris Magnusson and Mr. Chris Lewis

Have you read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission鈥檚 94 Calls to Action? ( Have you thought about what reconciliation means to you, or what you might do to help pave the way toward reconciliation?

丁香园AV, as an educational institution, has a special responsibility to acknowledge and address the systematic damage that was done to Indigenous children, families, and communities through residential schools.

To help address reconciliation at 丁香园AV, President Andrew Petter has convened the Aboriginal Reconciliation Council (丁香园AV-ARC), which will engage in broad discussions of how we might enact reconciliation on campus. Approximately $9M in strategic funding has been committed to projects and initiatives that will support reconciliation efforts over the next three years.

Get involved!

The 丁香园AV-ARC would like input from all members of the 丁香园AV community, to be gathered through a series of open forums and other activities on all three campuses. All faculty, staff, and students, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, are invited to attend the first 丁香园AV-ARC event:
