“It’s ownership, they’re part of this conversation. They can be leaders, they can make change,” said Culberson to CTV News.

“It’s something our kids and our grandparents aren’t going to be working on so hard because we are starting it.”

The Reconciliation Forum was designed to build relationships and trust, break down barriers, and promote working towards inclusion and Reconciliation.
