Marie Wilson: North of Nowhere

Monday, September 30, 7:30 pm, 50 Sussex Dr.

We’ve Changed Our Mind!

We weren’t aware that Marie Wilson was also speaking on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – September 30, and we decided that, as a former commissioner, it was more important to hear what she has to say going forward from the TRC report.

Marie Wilson: North of Nowhere

Presented by Canadian Geographic Society, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, you are invited to join the ReconciliAction Circle to hear from a former TRC commissioner on the enduring value of the commission and possibilities for the path forward.

As her publicity says “…Commissioner Wilson guides readers through her years witnessing survivor testimony across the country, providing her unique perspective on the personal toll and enduring public value of the commission. Part vital public documentary, part probing memoir, North of Nowhere breathes fresh air into the possibilities of reconciliation amid the persistent legacy of residential schools. It is a call to everyone to view the important and continuing work of reconciliation not as an obligation but as a gift.” Ottawa International Writers’ Festival
