Description

The University of Manitoba is honoured to be chosen by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) to host a National Research Centre on Residential Schools. The TRC and the University of Manitoba joined hands with communities across Canada on June 21, National Aboriginal Day, for the signing of this historic agreement.

The U of M will play a key role in the preservation of all statements, documents and other materials collected during the Commission's five-year mandate. The centre supports the TRC's aim to inform all Canadians about what happened in the 150-year history of the Residential School System, and to guide and inspire a process of reconciliation and renewed relationships based on mutual understanding and respect.
