In 2021 summer, TPM joined the TRC Reading Challenge where our team and TPM community members have collectively been reading the Truth & Reconcilliation Report weekly. We have finished reading the report and the community will now transition to monthly meetings.
We will meet the second Wednesday of every month starting March 2, 9:30 – 10:30am to discuss the report’s Calls to Action and work towards answering these calls together. We are simply naming this group: TPM Call to Action. We hope that the community will embrace this group as their own, as you have done with our weekly readings.
