UNDRIP online reading circle for reconciliation

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission made the UNDRIP the centerpiece of its Calls to Action. Its final report states that “the Declaration provides the necessary principles, norms, and standards for reconciliation to flourish in twenty-first-century Canada.” Both the Government of Canada and the churches that operated residential schools were called by the TRC to adopt the Declaration as the framework for reconciliation and to implement its principles, norms, and standards in their policies and programs.

This Reading Circle will take place from 11:30am - 1:30pm and will enable participants to become familiar with the content of UNDRIP. We will divide into groups with each participant having the opportunity to read several Articles of the Declaration using a virtual “circle” format.

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with a meeting link.
