Sioux Lookout Anti-Racism Committee

Today the Sioux Lookout Community Coalition for Healing and Reconciliation launched its handbook Starting to Talk: A Guide for Communities on Healing and Reconciliation from the Legacy of Indian Residential Schools at the National TRC event in Halifax.

This handbook was developed from a two day gathering held in Sioux Lookout on March 7 and 8, 2011. Concerning the intention of the handbook, Garnet Angeconeb, Co-chair of SLCCHR says, "Since March 2011, a number of people from Northwestern Ontario have been working towards producing a handbook; a handbook that will be a resource to other communities who may wish to engage in dialogue and activities around reconciliation stemming from the Indian Residential Schools legacy."

The handbook is available to all and can be downloaded for free right here! We wish you well on the path to healing and reconciliation.
