"I was mostly moved to consider how my own path was informed by colonization. I was grateful to Brian for his deep knowledge and for all he shared. thought provoking questions and responses, focus on truth before reconciliation"
"I am grateful for the opportunity for reflection and learning from today's session. Nova's thoughtful questions and framing and Brian's generous and knowledgeable sharing were much appreciated this "first national day of truth and reconciliation". So much more to learn and change but it was a good step in the process. Thanks for deciding to host and share.~Myra Stephen"
