Keynote - Kevin Lamoureux: Truth, Reconciliation and Wellbeing in Schools
This keynote presentation will celebrate the importance of reconciliation for all students, and the role that teachers can play in helping to bring to life the principles of reciprocity, respect, responsibility, and truth-telling. Principles central to the spirit and intent of reconciliation. The 94 Calls to Action offered by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 provide a framework for educators to help heal Canada as a nation, providing a place of belonging and wellbeing for all students.
