Media Advisory - Truth and Reconciliation Commissioners to Gather to Reflect on Fifth Anniversary

WINNIPEG, MB, Dec. 14, 2020 /CNW/ - The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) will be holding a press conference on Tuesday morning that will bring together the three Commissioners of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). This week marks the fifth anniversary of the release of the final report.

Senator Murray Sinclair, Chief Wilton Littlechild, and Dr. Marie Wilson will come together for the first time since the release of the TRC's final report because they feel strongly that the sense of urgency, purpose and unity around the Calls to Action must be renewed.
