Lunch ‘n’ Learn: Surviving the Residential School System

This session will consider the reason why we say “Survivor” rather than “graduate”, and how many Survivors of residential schools found solace through the media of sports and the arts. Artist and Residential School Survivor Antoine Mountain and author Janice Forsyth will be joined in conversation with moderator Dr. Vanessa Watts.
