Join Marie Wilson, the only woman and non-indigenous Commissioner as she reads from her moving, deeply personal account of the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission and responds to questions. This is a privileged opportunity for United Church members to deepen our understanding of why the United Church apologized for our part in the deeply harmful Residential School system.
Copies of her book will be available for purchase and signing.
