KAIROS brings unique mass history lesson to PEI – BUZZon

On May 28, KAIROS will engage various partnering organizations and provincial residents or citizens in a unique history lesson at the Cole Building, 175 Richmond Street, at 12:30 pm. The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is a visual and participatory activity that helps people of all ages learn about Canada’s history from the perspective of Indigenous peoples.

This event is part of a national initiative advocating for full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)’s Call to Action #62.i, which urges provincial governments to ensure that all students learn about Indian Residential Schools (IRS), treaties, and the contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to Canada. This action is part of KAIROS’ Winds of Change campaign to help advance the TRC Calls to Action.
