University of Manitoba: Imagine Canada
Imagine a Canada
During the 6 year mandate of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), all Canadians were asked to reflect on the historical treatment of Indigenous peoples in this country. The TRC interviewed thousands of survivors and others affected by residential schools. 94 Calls to Action were issued by the TRC calling upon all Canadians to re-imagine their relationship with Indigenous people. Now, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is turning to Canada’s young people to lead a conversation around the future of the country.
Imagine a Canada is a national arts and communications initiative that invites young people to share their thoughts on what the future of Canada will look like through the lens of reconciliation (see guidelines below).
2017 will be a big year for Imagine a Canada. Ten recipients will be selected in each province and territory by a regional selection committee in partnerships with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. The 10 recipients will be honoured by the Vice Regal representative in their respective province or territory and will be prominently featured by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
The 10 Imagine a Canada recipients in each province and territory will go forward to a national selection committee where one recipient from each province and territory will be selected to be honoured by Governor General David Johnston in a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa in June of 2017.
