Truth and Reconciliation Week 2021

September 22, 2021

Red River College’s third annual Truth and Reconciliation Week, September 27 – October 1, 2021, is dedicated to increasing our understanding of Canada’s history, Indigenous cultures, and starting conversations around Truth and Reconciliation.

During the week, you will hear from Indigenous voices and participate in interactive activities. Some of this year’s themes include: anti-racism, Every Child Matters, the Canadian Residential School System, intergenerational trauma, healing, and strength.

Everyone is welcome to participate in special events and join the conversation. As you participate in this week’s events, strong emotions may arise. Be sure to take breaks and practice good self-care. Remember to be kind and do check-ins with yourself, and you can always access RRC Mental Health supports and resources at rrc.ca/wellness.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
