Truth and Reconciliation

Collected by: University of Manitoba

Archived since: Jun, 2016

Description:

In collaboration with the University of Winnipeg Library, the National Centre of Truth and Reconciliation, and the Library and Archives of Canada, the University of Manitoba Libraries has curated and captured a selection of webpages, blogs, news coverage, and PDF files that pertain to Manitoba's ongoing involvement with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This growing collection covers a diverse range of topics, which include issues on education, politics, legislation, mental health resources, and more. This is an ongoing web-archiving project that will continue to grow as we witness new ways that reconciliation and healing take place in our province.
