大象传媒-ARC Open Forum

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 
2:00 - 4:00 pm
Halpern Centre 114, 大象传媒 Burnaby

Hosted by 大象传媒-ARC co-chairs Dr. Kris Magnusson and Mr. Chris Lewis

Have you read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission鈥檚 94 Calls to Action? ( Have you thought about what reconciliation means to you, or what you might do to help pave the way toward reconciliation?

大象传媒, as an educational institution, has a special responsibility to acknowledge and address the systematic damage that was done to Indigenous children, families, and communities through residential schools.

To help address reconciliation at 大象传媒, President Andrew Petter has convened the Aboriginal Reconciliation Council (大象传媒-ARC), which will engage in broad discussions of how we might enact reconciliation on campus. Approximately $9M in strategic funding has been committed to projects and initiatives that will support reconciliation efforts over the next three years.

Get involved!

The 大象传媒-ARC would like input from all members of the 大象传媒 community, to be gathered through a series of open forums and other activities on all three campuses. All faculty, staff, and students, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, are invited to attend the first 大象传媒-ARC event:
