In 1969, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young galvanized generations with the song Teach Your Children. But teaching children well begins with teaching the adults. In working toward the 94 calls to action set by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, powerful learning experiences include participating in treaty walks, attending memorials, and the multi-faceted world of reconciliation reading. Join us on September 15 as we explore reconciliation through Unitarian Universalist eyes.
