The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) is holding its
Closing Event in Ottawa.

May 31-June 3, 2015.
Delta Hotel, Ottawa

For more than 120 years, tens of thousands of Aboriginal children were
sent to Indian Residential Schools funded by the federal government
and run by the churches. They were taken from their families and
communities in order to be stripped of language, cultural identity and
traditions. Canada's attempt to wipe out Aboriginal cultures failed.
But it left an urgent need for reconciliation between Aboriginal and
non-Aboriginal peoples.

Be a part of the National Journey for Healing and Reconciliation!

• Survivor Sharing Circles
• Walk for Reconciliation
• Actions of Reconciliation
• Education Day
• Traditional Ceremonies
• Cultural Performances
• Films, Archival Photos and more

Come and share your truth about the schools and their legacy. Witness
and celebrate the resilience of Aboriginal cultures!

All gatherings are held at the Delta Ottawa, unless otherwise
indicated. Open to the public and admission is free.



Highlights
Sacred Fire and Sunrise Ceremonies – May 31 to June 3, 2015 on
Victoria Island (no cameras please).

Statement Gathering – June 1-2, 2015 at the Delta Ottawa
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission wants to hear from everyone
who has been affected by the Indian Residential Schools. That includes
Survivors of the schools, their families, community members – anyone
whose life has been affected by the schools or their legacy.

Honourary Witness Ceremony – June 1-2 at the Delta Ottawa
Honourary Witnesses are public figures who take on a special
responsibility for sharing the TRC's message of truth-telling and
reconciliation. In fact, we are all invited to be witnesses – to
listen carefully to the truths that are shared and to share them with
those that we know when we return to our own homes and communities.
New Honourary Witnesses will be inducted during the Ottawa Closing
Event.

TRC Final Report – June 2, 2015 at the Delta Ottawa
TRC Commissioners will release their findings on Indian Residential
Schools. Join in person at Delta Ottawa, or tune in via webcast for
this historic event.

Walk for Reconciliation – May 31, 2015 from École secondaire de l'Île
in Gatineau to Marion Dewar Plaza (Ottawa City Hall)
Join thousands of walkers on May 31, 2015 as we walk in solidarity
with Survivors of Indian Residential Schools and take a stand for
better relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians;
relations built on respect, understanding and hope for a better future
for all Canadians.

Sharing Circles with Survivor Committee – June 1-2, 2015 at the Delta Ottawa
Share your truth with others in a Sharing Circle facilitated by a
member of the Indian Residential School Survivor Committee.

Actions of Reconciliation – June 1, 2015 at the Delta Ottawa
As the TRC mandate draws to an end, national organizations are invited
to state their commitment to continued efforts towards reconciliation.

Learning Place – June 1-2, 2015 at the Delta Ottawa
Spend some time learning about the schools that Aboriginal children
attended in Ontario, and about the effect this experience had on the
lives of these children as they became adults. Have a conversation
with someone who can tell you something you might not have known before.

Church Archives – June 1-2, 2015 at the Delta Ottawa
Look through historic photographs of students and schools, as well as
other documents from the archives of the church entities that operated
the Indian Residential Schools.

Film Screening – Evenings of May 31 and June 1, 2015 at the National
Gallery. Filmmakers will be on hand for a brief discussion after the
screening. Film titles to be confirmed very soon.

Honouring Memories - Planting Dreams – June 3, 2015 at Rideau Hall
Join children and youth from across the region of Ottawa as they team
up with guests at Rideau Hall for an honouring ceremony and planting a
Garden of Hearts in memory of children that went missing while at
residential school.

As a legacy to the work of the TRC, the First Nation Child and Family
Caring Society, KAIROS and Project of Heart, are inviting children and
youth across the country to create a Garden of Heart in their region.
