Government of Canada Supports Reconciliation Efforts at University of Manitoba
The Government of Canada announced a $206,000 investment for the Canadian Reconciliation Barometer Project at the University of Manitoba. This funding aims to enhance understanding and dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. The project, initiated in 2015, involves scholars and researchers across Canada and will use the funds to create an advisory council of Elders and Traditional Knowledge Keepers. This initiative, backed by the Canada History Fund, will develop educational materials to track reconciliation progress.
