Voices of the Unheard: A Webinar Series on the Residential School System in Canada

The Canadian Race Relation Foundation (CRRF) is pleased to announce the launch of the virtual webinar series Voices of the Unheard: Examining the History, Legacy, and Reconciliation around the Residential School System in Canada.

This webinar series aims to keep the conversation going long after the discovery of thousands of unmarked graves has disappeared from the headlines. Each webinar will be centred around the voices, expertise, and experiences of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have either lived through the system or who have been touched by its sorrowful legacy.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity, and keep the conversation going!

The dates and times for each of these sessions are as follows:
