The Truth and Reconciliation Commission ten years out: A conversation with commissioner Marie Wilson
Just over a decade ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released its Final Report into Canada’s Residential School System, including its 94 Calls to Action and 10 Principles of Reconciliation. This episode we’ll hear about the legacy of the TRC 10 years later with one of the three commissioners, Marie Wilson. She’ll tell Myan Marcen-Gaudaur, Scotiabank’s Director of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, about her time as a commissioner, the state of reconciliation over the past 10 years, the progress on the 94 Calls to Action and more.
