Description

The Mohawk Institute, located in Brantford, ON, was a model for the larger residential school system, and learning about its history helps us work towards reconciliation. Join us for a talk by historian Alison Norman who will speak about the history of Canada's oldest and longest running residential school, just in time for September 30th, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 

Alison Norman is a historian working at Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada. She has also taught through various lifelong learning organizations.

This program is offered in a hybrid format - in-person at Hillary House National Historic Site and online via Zoom. The in-person program takes place in the Ballroom, located on the second floor of Hillary House which is only accessed via a staircase.
