Truth and Reconciliation

Author: CTF; NCTR  Publisher: CTF/FCE   Date: 2016

Description: The Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF) and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation are currently developing an education tool to help students better understand the history of residential schools and how Canadians must work collectively as part of the reconciliation process. Education is one of the key cornerstones of reconciliation.

Intended for elementary and secondary students, the classroom discussion booklet aims to support dialogue about residential schools and to explore how they hurt generations of First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) people for well over 130 years. It is the third in CTF’s series of Student Voice booklets.

The booklet will also feature the student voice in words, poems, drawings and statements from Canadian classrooms. This collection of creative student reflections and expression will also serve as a legacy piece for the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. -from www.ctf-fce.ca
