The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s Research Unit will be hosting a 3-day gathering this October to bring together community and academic researchers who will share their experiences, challenges, and successes of research and work related to missing children and unmarked burials. The gathering will be guided by ceremony, presenters will share their research, and experiences and create space for attendees to engage in dialogue. It will provide an opportunity to develop key discussion papers that will assist in moving academic, policy, and research agendas forward.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Kimberly Murray, Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Burial Sites

Registration for this event will open on September 15, 2022. More details including an agenda, travel information, and other information related to the gathering will be shared in the coming weeks on our website here:  https://nctr.ca/remembering-the-children-community-gathering/.
