Marking the 10th anniversary of then-prime minister Stephen Harper’s apology in the House of Commons for the government-funded residential school system, a new third edition of Speaking My Truth: The Journey to Reconciliation, was launched.

Governor General David Johnston recently presided over a ceremony at Rideau Hall to invest 45 recipients into the Order of Canada, including Nipissing University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Mike DeGagné, C.M.

Nipissing University President, Dr. Mike DeGagné, has been appointed to the interim Board of Directors for the new National Council for Reconciliation. The council, announced last week by the Trudeau government, is chaired by Grand Chief Wilton Littlechild, a former member of Parliament and residential school survivor who also served as a Truth and Reconciliation Commission member.

This week’s feature focuses on the President’s Gold Medal winning graduate Amanda Paulin. Paulin is from Tilbury, ON. She graduated from Nipissing’s Masters of Environmental Studies.
