A Summer Institute: Perspectives on Reconciliation – on August 12 to 15, 2019, MSVU’s Special Advisor to the President on Aboriginal Affairs, Patrick Small Legs-Nagge joined representatives from 31 Canadian post-secondary institutions from across the country for the “Perspectives on Reconciliation Institute”. The program, held in Yukon, was hosted by Yukon College, Vancouver Island University and the McConnell Foundation and focused on six action areas: spaces, services, programs, research, policy, and governance. The event was a valuable information sharing opportunity towards furthering truth and reconciliation in our sector generally, and at MSVU specifically.
