Thank you so much for this course. Also thanks to Dan Levy for suggesting it. The course and weekly chats helped educate me in Canada's true history, information that I should have received in school.

T​o truly heal as a nation, we must all walk the path of reconciliation. The first step is education. Gratitude to University of Alberta for lighting the way by unpacking Canada's complicated history.
