Sharing Truth - Creating a National Research Centre on Residential Schools
National Research Centre Forum March 1-3, 2011 at the Sheraton Wall Centre
in Vancouver

 

Registration is open for the Forum.

 

On behalf of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), the
Commissioners are extending a rare opportunity for attendees to bear witness
to the advice, vision and experiences of International colleagues who have
worked with Indigenous collections or Truth Commissions.

 

Over three days, information will be shared that will help to inform
decision making for preserving and archiving survivor statements, as well as
materials created and received during the Commission's work.

 

Stakeholders attending this forum will include representatives from:

 

. Human rights advocates

. Aboriginal rights researchers

. Archivists

. Residential school survivors

. Aboriginal organizations

. Governments and agencies

 

Register now to join your fellow stakeholders in witnessing the preservation
of one of Canada's largest collections of oral history.

 

Please feel free to forward this message to your own contacts who you think
might be interested.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver.

 

"When the work of the Commission is complete, we will ensure the whole world
hears the truth about residential schools, so that generations to come -
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians alike - will hold to the statement
that resonates with all of us: This must never happen again."

- Justice Murray Sinclair
