A Message from Carola Weil, PhD, Dean of Continuing Studies, and Veldon Coburn, PhD, Faculty Chair of Indigenous Relations Initiative (IRI) at SCS
As an institution of higher learning, it is crucial to acknowledge the role educational institutions have played in the colonization and assimilation of Indigenous peoples. September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is an important opportunity for us to recognize the deep scars of colonialism and engage in meaningful dialogue about the past injustices faced by Indigenous children and their families, while also honouring the resilience and strength of the survivors of Indian Residential Schools.
Here at the School of Continuing Studies, we are committed to following the path laid out by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission鈥檚 94 Calls to Action which, among other actions, call upon us to re-examine and learn from Canada鈥檚 colonial history. This day serves as a reminder that our journey towards understanding is ongoing, encompassing both learning and unlearning as we work to address Canada鈥檚 colonial past.
