National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation opens at the University of Manitoba
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) opened its doors to the public on November 3, providing Canadians access to its innovative and progressive archive to foster reconciliation.
Housed at the U of M, the NCTR has the largest collection of curated materials on the Residential School system in Canada. The Centre also plays an active role in the process of reconciliation, providing a safe, respectful and trustworthy space for Survivors and their families to gain access to records and collect information about their history.
“Our purpose is not only about documenting the past,” says Ry Moran, NCTR’s Director. “We're honouring the wishes of Survivors by educating the public on this chapter in Canadian history. By encouraging all Canadians to embrace this history, we hope to create a common ground to build a stronger foundation for Indigenous communities in Canada.”
