Canada needs to move from “apology to action” according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. UFV and like-minded educational institutions will be key leaders in this spirit of reconciliation.<\/p>\n
On June 19, St\u00f3:l\u014d, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people are gathering at the Aboriginal Gathering Place (UFV CEP campus) to engage in a dialogue aimed at highlighting our shared history and helping dismantle the walls of isolation that have defined our relationships in the past. The University of the Fraser Valley will be participating in this important community-building event.<\/p>\n
Organized by St\u00f3:l\u014d Tribal Council, this day will consist of sessions on Tell All Our Stories, Imagine a Future Together, and Take Action on Reconciliation. The goal is to begin to see our way forward in harmony, to continue to build relationships and healthy communities that we envision in our shared future. St\u00f3:l\u014d Elder\u00a0 Siyamiateliyot translated reconciliation into Halq\u2019emeylem in this way: xwla yetotelo:met qas ye slilekwel meaning: \u201ctowards understanding and harmony.\u201d<\/p>\n
We are seeking participation from students, staff, faculty, administrators and those serving on our governing bodies.
