TRC57 Speaker Series

Season Launching February 25

We’re excited to welcome you back for another season of the TRC57 Speaker Series — a free, virtual public education experience exploring how reconciliation is practiced through learning, responsibility, and relationship with the Land and one another.

This season takes the form of a book study, bringing together authors from the anthology Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous–Settler Relations and Earth Teachings. Across the series, speakers will reflect on Indigenous laws, land-based teachings, stories, and responsibilities that continue to shape how we live together today.

Together, the series explores a central guiding question:

What if reconciliation is not a destination, but a practice — one learned through attention, responsibility, and care over time?

Each session invites participants to engage deeply with the ideas in the anthology while connecting them to public service, community life, and personal learning journeys.

Recordings from past seasons continue to reach thousands of viewers and are widely used in schools, post-secondary courses, professional development, and independent study across Canada.
